Evaluating not trading up a spot for Cooks

[Drama Queen]

New Orleans swapped 1st round picks and gave up a 3rd round. To beat that offer, lets assume the Eagles needed to make the same deal with Arizona to move up one spot.

Its either...

Eagles trade up: Cooks

or

Eagles trade down: Marcus Smith, Josh Huff (3rd round cost to move up), Jaylen Watkins and Taylor Hart.

Its something to keep taps on for the future.

Side note: The Eagles made a better deal with Cleveland, than Arizona did with New Orleans.
Eagles (22nd) for: (26th), (83rd)
Cards (21st) for: (27th), (91st)

Where'd you cut and paste that bull from?

This is how your thought process works on your weekends? Unless you did this tripping on Acid, you are completely lame.

No.

[Drama Queen]

A lot of people wanted Cooks and many, including N.O., thought the Eagles would take him.

[Drama Queen]

Yes.

You will.

I think Matthews has a bigger upside in this offense than Cooks. I'm glad they didn't try to replace DJax with another wideout they compared to DJax.

[Drama Queen]

Edit to add: Arizona had the 19th pick and Eagles had the 21st pick.

I'm just fine with the players they got. With the depth of this draft, I only wanted them to trade up if either Anthony Barr or Mike Evans started to slide.

Of course, if Marcus Smith sucks, then all bets are off.

[Ellsworth]

I didn't want that midget.

They wanted to it but it didn't work out. You don't like 1300 yard receivers?

Because a player being compared to a 1300 yard receiver automatically makes him a 1300 yard WR. How many guys DeSean's size and style of play have ever really been a top flight WR before him?

Maybe Cooks turns out to be legit, but just being built like and playing a similar style of game as DeSean doesn't make him a 1300 yard WR.

Cooks was on the short list. If Chip was smart enough to get rid of Jackson, he must be smart enough to judge talent.
