The two picks we gave up were worth a pro bowl player who puts up an average of 1400 all purpose yards per season. Once again, Brandin Cooks completely worth it because he is a pro bowl caliber player - 1200 yards and 9 TD's last season. |

You already know my view on the bell trade and its merits. Pass on Bell draft a safety in the third and then draft David in fourth. But thats water under the bridge. |

In a way we seem to have accidentally drafted backups outside of the first two picks. Onyematta could hopefully be the answer if Fairley slacks off.

Brandin Cooks pro bowl? the talent is there but as of yet he has not made the trip. he still has plenty of time to get there. |

Onyemata will be used as a DE... Payton had an interview just after his pick and stated they see him on the other side of Jordan.

This is interesting because it means Jordan would be staying at the 9 technique. A lot of us have just kind of assumed that Jordan would move back to the strong side.

Cooks is a great speed talent and quality character; but he gets smothered when the field shortens in the end zone and there were quality receivers still there in the first and second that we could've stood pat and selected... Jenkins is in a contract year and has also been a disappointment... Moving up is too costly and by your own words in previous posts, we'd been better served moving back, or, as just as well had stood pat and kept the extra picks... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
