Worst case scenario is we cut him and save 20 million and lose a 5th round pick who wouldn't be expected to be a contributor anyway. I'm not a huge Cooper fan and don't see him as a #1 or someone that brings the intensity that Landry does but he is more elusive and we haven't had a WR that has been elusive at all for awhile.

It's time our WRs make a play occasionally. Others break a tackle or elude a defenders, ours never seem to do that.

I think he’s a guy who can consistently win 1:1, draw coverage and is able to make plays at all 3 levels. 
 

Is he gonna be overpaid?  Absolutely, but that would have applied to anyone we brought in via FA too.  I think he’s better than pretty much everyone in FA who we even had a realistic HOPE of snagging.

Landry was intense and competed, can’t take that away from him, but he’s got a skill set that warrants a contact 20-30% of what he’s due imo.

Love the trade. I would still pick a WR in the 1st round (Wilson/London) to help with the offense & Baker.

 

Peace!!!

 

 

I diagree...the WR class is very good, and although I wouldn't hate the idea of pairing Cooper, with a Wilson/London/Burks, I would probably go D at 13.  I would consider a Jordan Davis, or Karlaftis, or be thrilled if a Thibodeaux, or Walker fell!

 

The second round should have some great talent at WR...Dotson, Bell, or Watson could possibly be had!

I feel pretty confident that WR is prolly out at 13 with bringing on copper and, at least as of now, not resigning Clowney.

I think if we get rid of Jarvis we are just replacing one role as WR2 for another. I wouldn’t ignore a potential long-term WR1 based on Cooper coming here. If that guy falls. I think we are certainly not as desperate now though. First round or not though we still need a quality rookie imo. I’m far more open to going D now though and having more bpa flexibility now is huge considering some of the possible options.

Sounds like we all are in agreement.

OK, @NudeTayne, make it happen!

I think he can be had for a fourth, maybe a sixth or seventh are a throw-in with it to outbid another team offering a fourth. It's mostly a salary dump so not much compensation needed.

Alright. I'll see what I can do.

Yeah, I think WR is totally still a possibility in round one. Acquiring Cooper just means we won't be forced to take one if there's a really good EDGE/DT available.

True. But an Amari Cooper WR2 is a MASSIVE upgrade from a Jarvis Landry WR2. Like, Cooper is a #2 who is actually set up to be an above average #2. Landry is a meh #3 trying to be a #2.

I'd go higher if he is willing 1/8 

No thanks. We have a bunch of #3/4 WR's right now (DPJ, Schwartz, Higgins if he stays, etc.) I'm not giving 8M for another one that I could use on a DT, DE, or as part of the money for a legit #1 WR (Robinson). Or even like, another #2 to pair with Cooper and a rookie as a "let's do three #2's rather than a #1 and #2" set up (Juju, Zay Jones, Cedrick Wilson, Chark, Gallup, Gage).

Yup. Unless Allen Robinson was coming here, this is the best WR who was available. And there will be some significantly lower tier dudes getting 75% of his money.

No doubt. My only point is that long-term I still don’t know that we have a WR1 so in this really strong class you can’t rule out a WR.

Definitely. If Drake London is there, he's the pick (imo), but I don't think he gets there. Wilson/Burks/Williams are all legit options too. I think Cooper makes that OPTIONAL (gives us the option of going DT/DE then WR), but it's still an option for sure.
