Gotta say Cooks does look very good. He's locked in...I take back my comparison to Kerley but I would still prefer a bigger target like Evans or Beckham
I understand being hesitant about Rice. My opinion is that he could be a steal in free agency if healthy. A small 2 year deal could be a bargain for him. Plus I was considering the Idzik connection. Cooks would step in and immediately be the best playmaker on the team.
I've been on the Paul Richardson ban wagon the whole season. Depending on what the jets do in the first few rounds, I would love to see him taken in the 3rd.
The early word on Matthews, mostly due to a bad week at the Senior Bowl practices, is that he will have trouble adjusting to bump-and-run and press coverage in the NFL. That's the kind of thing that the Combine will never bring forward due to non-contact drills. I'm guessing Matthews is a 2nd rounder with some team looking for a #2 WR.
