Agreed. This is my thoughts as well. Also, this year's WR class as well as next year's WR class is pretty deep. There's a lot of talent to be had. Also, again, circling back to my logic from the article. You're willing to fork over a 3rd RD pick in this year's draft as well as a 3rd RD pick in next year's draft for a WR that's, quite honestly, not really lived up to being a former number four overall draft selection. I could also package those picks up if I am that desperate or know for a fact that a WR prospect is worthy of the move up. Dotson and Metchie III for example. Probably worth the moving up for.

You don't take a receiver in the top five unless he's Julio Jones (wink to you Cleatwood), that's why I brought up the Julio Jones comparison. Guys like Calvin Johnson Jr. and recently Jamar Chase. Those are the guys you take that high. Cooper was a well polished route runner coming out of Alabama. I never got "game changing, back breaking" vibes from him. He's good at what he does. He's a solid, steady #2 that will sometimes come up big on 3rd downs here and there. 

I don't want to fork over high end RD3 picks for a guy like that. 

If Amari is as good as people claim him to be. Why would this be his third team in seven seasons already? Hypothetically of course. He's never hit double digit TD's. He's never hit triple digit receptions. He's never hit 1,200 yards receiving in any single season. No thanks.
