I think my aproach to Cooper would depend on what Chark does.

If Chark stays, I don't think I make the move for Cooper, though I could go either way with it.

If Chark leaves, I'm more inclined to go for Cooper, as I think he can still separate and we need some experience and ability at WR.

In either event, I'd be mor einclined to go after Amari Cooper than Devante Adams.

Whether Chark leaves or not, I still pursue Cooper. They are two different kinds of receivers. Chark is a big play, speed guy and Cooper is a possession receiver with great hands. Even keeping Chark and getting Cooper does not change my draft plans though. I'm still drafting at least 2 WR's. I'm cleaning house at WR. I don't wanna see Marvin Jones or Laviska Shenault anywhere near the field next season, even in backup roles. I move them if I can, but if I can't, they are on the roster bubble going into the next preseason and they are gonna have to improve massively, in order to make the team.

The odds are extremely low.

If the Rams have shown anything, it’s that draft picks are overvalued and proven talent is much more valuable.

I think the argument to be made, is that, in this particular scenario? Why would you fork over a 70th overall selection + another 3rd RD Pick for a #2 receiver, when, you could probably use that same value and logic to move up to get a potentially better, younger, and possibly cheaper prospect at the same position? That has the speed and talent to potentially be a number one?

I could see it now. They pull some goofy [BLEEP] off like this and end up passing up on somebody like Metchie III, Justyn Ross, Jahan Dotson or Wan'Dale Robinson and we'll be sitting on the couch probably watching one or two of those guys playing in a play-off game in January.

Assuming if you trade for Cooper you're going to have to sit down and talk contract extension at some point. It's just not ideal IMHO. If you want to trade for a receiver? Again, by logic? Why not fork over numero uno right now to Seattle for D.K Metcalf?

If we draft Justyn Ross with his injury history, we might as well flush that pick down the toilet.
