Panthers meeting with Brandin Cooks

[DaCityKats]

 

Oregon State WR Brandin Cooks has a meeting scheduled to visit with the Panthers.

Carolina, having recently lost wide receivers Steve Smith and Brandon LaFell to free agency, have a major need on the perimeter. Why not fill it with a prospect that many have compared to Smith himself? Cooks (5-foot-9 3/4, 185 pounds), a slot dynamo, put on a show at the combine, running a 4.33-second 40-yard dash. He's already visited with the Patriots. Cooks was asked whom he patterns his game after, and his answer should make Panthers' fans swoon. "Steve Smith, he's a great receiver and one of the best out there," Cooks said. "Being under six-foot, he's not one of the biggest receivers, but at the same time, he brings everything to the table that any other guy can. I definitely try to mold my game after a guy like that."

Desean Jackson clone without the attitude! Prob why we aren't trading for him. Cooks may fall to #28, he could he a #1 and replace Smitty longterm

[carolina-chuck]

Happy

[therealmjl]

Please.

[Mr. Scot]

The more I read, the more I question whether he makes it to our pick.

That said, they're wise to do the homework on him just in case he does.

[Kuech the Sneak]

I'd be fine with thar

We need to accept the fact that there will never be another Steve Smith and simply take the best WR for the team and Cam Newton. If that's Cooks I'm on board but I have a feeling more prototypical big bodied WR's will be a better fit for Cam. We need more redzone targets.

Heard today that the Eagles are very interested in Cooks. Not sure he makes it to 28 anymore but I'd like it if he did.

[Jackofalltrades]

Very good.

Hoping the Jets take Jackson off the market, so they have no need to draft a receiver

Wouldn't surprise me if they still took WR, Geno needs weapons.
