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?
I would easily give up #1 for Metcalf.

Heck. You could talk me into giving up #1 for DJ Moore. I’ve been saying all off season that a blockbuster trade for a true #1 WR is something the Jags need to highly consider. Buffalo with Diggs. Arizona with Hopkins. Browns with OBJ (even though it didn’t work).

Cooper is extremely talented and is consistently open. His main issue in Dallas is that lots of people are open because they are loaded on offense. Some games it was Schultz. Some games it was Lamb. Some games it was the running game and some games it was Cooper. In Jacksonville, it would always be Cooper Time.

The likelyhood that those WRs you talked about being there in the 3rd is low and then your banking on them being as good as Cooper. Again. Also low odds.

I’m just playing the odds game here.
