Eagles wanted him. We messed up their first round strategy. They had one of the worst first round picks.

Look, I really like Cooks, but we messed ourselves up as well...

We could have waited for Kelvin Benjamin and had the big, tall replacement for Colston...

Or Jordan Matthews, who Coach Payton took an early shine to as well...

Funny thing is, the third round pick, which we could have used on, say, a linebacker, Arizona used it to select Pittsburgh State's John Brown who had 5 TDs (two were game winners) and 596 yards...

Brown's production dropped off when Arizona lost their starting quarterback for the season, so his numbers may have been even greater...
