Cooks already made the squad in 2023, and would have to be removed from the 2024 squad/roster for you to be correct.

We can agree that Thomas will most likely be the tallest WR on the grass most of the time this season.

By making the squad I mean making the 53 man roster.  He's currently rostered because teams aren't required to pare down their roster yet.  Whether he was on the 53 last year has no bearing on my original comment.  There's no legacy spots held for guys on the 53 because they were on it the year before, especially for guys that have virtually no dead cap like Cooks.  He'll very likely be on the bubble.  We'll likely carry 6 or 7 receivers.  Locks are Kirk, Thomas, Davis, Duvernay and I believe Parker Washington is probably a lock as well based on contributions made at the end of last year and positive comments I've heard regarding him from mini-camp.  That's 5 right there.  I'm not saying he won't make it, he's probably one of the favorites, but he'll be battling with Tim Jones and 5 other guys currently on the roster including Josh Cephus which some are high on for 1 or maybe 2 available spots.  I wouldn't count him as being on the roster for 2024 just yet.
