I know this is not going to a popular position, but I don't like the trade up to Brandon Cooks. I have no doubt he is a great prospect and all the experts really like the pick, but in this wideout rich draft, was it really the best move for a team that is probably four players away from a Super Bowl.
As it broke yesterday we were in position to make a huge move down and get really good value for our pick, because Bridgewater fell and Minnesota and Houston both wanted him. We could have gotten the #33 and #65 picks for #27, because of Bridgewater. Then we could have gone down to #40 and gotten #98 from Minnesota for the #33 pick for them to take Carr at qb. Setting us up to get center, cb, olb, and wr. With our cap situation, the draft is about the best way for us to fill a roster cheaply. I feel like the Saints became enamoured with a player and traded to get him. With Graham, Colston, Stills, Watson, Morgan and Toon, I don't see the immediate need, especially when you have a second year undrafted free agent protecting Drew. I just don't see it. |
