Quote:im not "down" on him. i just dont think he is top 5 worthy.

 

think of it this way....... how many championships has calvin johnson won the lions?

is amari cooper as good as megatron?

 

this is a WR we are talking about. seattle has a bunch of nobodies at WR. you can find very good ones in the later rounds nowadays.

 

premium positions to take there are linemen, tackle or pass rusher. id say CB if there was a big time guy available but this doesnt look like the year for that. id like to see marcus peters taken in the second or a trade down from where we will be picking and grabbing cody prewitt and oakman.

 

No one specific player wins a team a championship. Calvin Johnson may not have won the Lions anything, but he's a game changing player, something Jacksonville doesn't have. Adding a WR like Cooper gives Blake an entirely new dimension on Offense to work with.

 

The same argument can go to pass rusher as well. The Jags are close to the top of the league in sacks and they were absolutely stifling against Indianapolis. That didn't help them win the game at all. The team has to be able to score, something they're sorely incapable of doing.

 

Quote:yeah IMO he's a fringe top 10 player but not on caliber with a Watkins or Evans of last year, just a notch below, he might not even be the best WR in this draft

 

I can't see us going WR early in this draft unless the value is just too good to pass up. BB has adequate weapons at WR, just needs better protection and another weapon at TE.

 

I like Cooper better than Watkins, but that's besides the point, seeing as Watkins is a very good player who I would also love having on the team.

 

Cooper looks so much smoother to me than Watkins does, and he has pro-style experience which will help him transition better. He glides across the field and makes everything look easy. 

 

He's not as powerful as Watkins, but he doesn't need to be with his ability to get open in space all the time.
