Guess who got 16 reps on the bench press today

[Jangler]

I would love a 3 foot receiver...

 

 

just hope he has 3 legs,

[csx]

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

And wanting a tall guy really bad doesnt make the ones who are tall better receivers.

[top dawg]

I would love a 3 foot receiver...just sayin' ;)

 

Funny, Jangler. Funny.

[TheRed]

You have an opinion, Red, but don't try and act like no one else's opinion is based upon arguments that are just as compelling, and perhaps even more-so than yours. You're better than that...Oops, no you're not.

Let's not start this personal thing again please.

You said height matters "not so much" to the professionals, I think that is a stretch to say the least.

[Jangler]

Funny, Jangler. Funny.

 

:) I was implying somebody...then changed it to better joke.

On this logic we may as well skip drafting a WR altogether.

[XClown1986]

Yet people want to run Steve out of town, and draft a 5'10 WR in the first round.

 

I don't think you are paying attention. People would love for Steve to stay but we need the cap room and hopefully he agrees to a paycut. We want to fix the cap not get rid of our best receiver. Gettleman might be forced to make that difficult decision in order to help the team as a whole. It isn't unusual to make a difficult decision on an aging receiver with a high cap number (see Anquan Boldin with the Ravens), it has nothing to do with his size.

No. I said not so much as you're trying to make it out to be.  Professionals aren't going to overlook Brandin Cooks' skill set unless they have a very good reason to do so, and I predict that his height is not going to be enough of a reason to drop him significantly down draft boards. 

[MHS831]

Talent and upside did not make Smitty grow taller.  We should never have drafted him.

Seattle will be done with rice. its funny because they have a midget QB throwing to a bunch of midget WRs. Cooks numbers are hard to argue with. You cut his numbers in half and it still wouldve been good enough to be our best recieving threat last season. i want a play maker idc if hes 3 foot or 7  foot. we need to score TDs.

 

You can't just look at college production to predict success in the NFL. Demaryius Thomas didn't break 650 yards while in college, but you gotta be careful picking small receivers... The Giants have a track record of picking receivers over 6 foot, such as Cruz 6'1, Nicks 6'1, and Randle 6'2... I would put more stock in that than Gettleman picking the best playmaker 

[carpanfan96]

We need a tall guy who can go up, and get the ball. Stop looking for the next Steve Smith. Too many Marty Hurney's here.

 

He's not tall but he can go up and get the ball with the best of them. There's a reason his team ran fades to him in the endzone. 

[BigSyke]

bench press dont matter much for wr.....allen and williams didnt even do it last year think.

[CarolinaCoolin]

To many people on the huddle think every guy with a good combine showing will be a 1st rounder now. Conversely a lot of people on this board think a bad combine showing meaning you an UDFA. A lot of people on here have no clue about football

[JawnyBlaze]

The combine isn't gonna make me want Cooks any more than before...people who use numbers from doing anything in a leotard are doing it wrong. I wouldn't mind him in the first if we could definitely get someone like Adams in the second or Coleman in the third. But I don't want the only new weapon to be a physically limited player. He can be a potent weapon, but only as a compliment in my opinion. We can't hope he can replicate Smitty's success because Smitty is a pretty rare case. The commentators mentioned that only 3 guys in the history of the game that ran 4.3 or better have ever had a 1000 yard season. Only one recently: Mike "Flash in the Pan" Wallace.

In short, I want someone Cam can throw fades and all the routes to. If we can get that guy (who can be a dependable target, not just some guy with the requisite size), then I'd be thrilled to also get Cooks. But I refuse to let a performance without pads on heavily influence any opinion on a football player.
