Should we trade up to grab a high rank WR?

this is assuming we seek a rookie WR to be our #1 or 2. I hear we have interest in Brandin Cooks but cloning Smitty should not be our focus. His tapes prove him to be fast and shifty which is nice but upgrading for the future and finding that type WR we've never had should be key imo. So should we grab a higher ranked WR or play the board game?

I hate that people are turned off to the idea of drafting Cooks because he is compared to Smith. 

 

We aren't interested in him because we want a Steve Smith clone. It's not "our focus". We are interested in him because he's a damn good receiver who may be available at our pick. On film, on the stat sheet and based on combine results he is a top 5 WR in this loaded draft class. 

 

But to answer your question, no. We don't need to trade up. This draft is deep.

I would not mind it at all. It would excite the poo out of me!!!!!

Assuming we get Jones and Cotchery + cbs help, I would love to trade up for Watkins or Evans. Only those two tho. I like Lee but we could gamble our chances of him being there at 28.

watkins would wipe away the last 2 weeks around here. lol

    • Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.  
    • I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.  
    • Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
