Cooper Kupp caught everything at the Reese's Senior Bowl and all the Saints men were there watching him...

Get a first and third for Cooks, draft Kupp in the second, and we're moving along...

Just watched some highlights, he has a big catching radius, which is made all the more evident because the QB's throwing to him aren't very accurate. I'm not familiar with that many college athletes, but I wouldn't be disappointed if we got him, however I'd like to address D first.

I just look at a 28th ranked D.

Well, you should read all the threads as Fairley obviously had a good year, but I'm hardly a "fan" and I've explained my feelings on keeping him...

Harper has nothing left to offer, save coaching and mentoring...

Defenses really have to gel, sync, and while we have plenty of positions that could use upgrade, I don't agree that blowing the defense up, again, is the answer...

Raymond has some thoughts...

Excellent news!

For a guy that has 17 TD's and 2400 yards over the last 2 seasons I'd expect no less than a first round pick.

I'd love to have 2 first round picks, our D could really use that help.

Just imagine this;

Mike Nolan propels Stephone Anthony's growth and he becomes the player we envisioned
We then draft Derek Barnett for our DE and Reuben Foster at LB both in the first round

Corner is handled in the second and third rounds

How good would that be!

Even better if we re-sign Fairley to a decent deal.

The PhillyEagleNews is reporting the Eagles are offering a 2nd round pick and a player.

I know there was talk about Philly looking to trade LB Mychal Kendricks. How would you guys feel about Cooks for a 2nd rounder and Kendricks?
