Because I think the 3 are close running and are 3 very different types of players.  What sets Cooks apart in your opinion for what we need?

Playmaker, plain and simple. His YAC are ridiculous and something we've been missing.

Not sure I understand the "Cooks is too small" argument when the same people love Steve Smith and others were begging for Tavon Austin if Star wasn't available last year.  

 

I'd much rather have Cooks than Austin.

I feel the same.  His ability far outweighs his size.  I just like the way OBJ plays out of these three the most but I think it's a pretty close running. I'd possibly consider one of them over JM.

 

This year is a close call and I don't think there's gonna be a runaway favorite at 28 no matter the position.

For me it's Beckham or Robinson. I find it odd that many on here want to tout a 5'7'' receiver, yet any corner has to be 6'0'' or he is Captain Munnerlyn. Bliss.

 

To be fair, Brandin Cooks is over 5'10 but I see where you're coming from.

Let's say the top-5/or guys talked about a lot are gone by 28:

 

Watkins, Evans, Benjamin, Matthews, and Lee

 

This can definitely happen imo because you have the Redskins, Lions, Jets, Ravens, Colts, and Chiefs at the very least who need wideouts pretty bad (albeit a few worse than others so they may not all necessarily take a WR).  Also, there's more than one wideout needy team past us that could trade up for someone.    

 

Now out of the remaining crop, would you take any at 28?

 

Most notables:

 

Allen Robinson

Odell Beckham Jr.

Brandin Cooks

 

I know it's dependent on what other guys are available but would you be content with any of those three at 28?

 

Not asking if you'd take them over an available CB, OL, or whatnot but if you would take a wideout outside that top-5 at 28.   

A GUY I'D LIKE US TO TAKE WITH THE 28TH PICK WOULD BE JORDAN MATTHEWS OUT OF VANDERBILT.. HE'S ONLY 21, HE'S 6'3" & HE SURPASSED THE HIGH EXPECTATIONS OF HIM TO BE A STANDOUT AT THE SENIOR BOWL... WOULD BE THE BEST BIG WR WE'VE HAD SINCE MUHAMMAD LEFT THE FIRST TIME.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      We’re in a pickle. My best hope is we protect him and can run the ball vs most Ds and the WRs are healthy so he has every chance to not look like what he looked like in too many games last year.

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.
