Guess who got 16 reps on the bench press today

[TheRed]

The answer is obvious. Because the shorter receiver may be the more talented, the more complete, and/or the one with more upside.

 

Unfortunately, talent, and upside won't make him grow taller.

Unfortunately, talent, and upside won't make him grow taller.

 

But it will make him, most likely, a better football player.

Yet he will still only be 5'10.

All of this has been covered in the combine thread

 

And a month ago in the Draft Forum.

Yet he will still only be 5'10.

 your point?

[top dawg]

I agree. 39 inch vertical, ran a 4.42 at 6"4. Even though you can qualify his time by pointing out that he is 211 pounds, still impressive regardless. Very raw prospect, but good coaching can help him reach is potential. 

 

Damn. He must have put on a little weight since the season ended. That's good! I just wonder if he'll be around in four now. 

[TheRed]

 your point?

 

Talent alone can only make up for lack of height for so long. Time waits for no man. See Steve Smith.

[TrianglePanther]

While we're so enamored with measurables, name this WR:

 

6'3''

217 lbs

4.39 40-yard dash

1.56 10-yard split

34.5 vertical

10'4'' broad jump

 your point?

 

That Watkins is 2 3/4" taller therefor Cooks cant play in the NFL apparently.

Let me get this straight:

 

You're against drafting arguably the most talented receiver in this draft, pound for pound, because you are worried that 12+ years down the line he won't be able to go up and get balls because he happens to be on the shorter side?

[AndrewLaskoski]

I wouldn't discount his size, but if we want to move Smitty to the slot we cannot draft Cooks... Between Smitty, Olsen, and Cooks there wouldn't be enough snaps to justify taking Cooks with our 1st pick. With that said I believe Cooks will be a stud, just not our stud.

 

There are many other directions we could go, such as Devante Adams, Jordan Matthews, or Kelvin Benjamin with our first pick

 

PS- I think Jeff Janis had the best workout among the second group, I think Prohl could turn Janis into a solid number 2 if we drafted him late

[TheRed]

Who said he can't play?

 

I'm not arguing against drafting him.

 

His stock is rising, and we likely won't be able to draft him no matter how many posts the huddle makes about him.

Before the season I dont thimk many had the seahawks wr corp as being all that. One of the reasona they went after Harvin. Chemistry kids...chemistry.

Last year it was Tavon Austin. It's nothing new, every year the huddle is hung up on one player.
