Again, I get it but, if you draft for the short term, you lessen your chances at success and end up always chasing needs. If you draft the better prospect, regardless of position, then you are addressing problems
before they become needs
and you give yourself greater flexibility year to year.
Also, if drafted, I wouldn't mind Cooper displacing Roberts as the no. 3 this year - regardless of cap money, the better production starts. The following year, cut Roberts, no need to resign Garcon or draft a WR1 and our top 3 are still Cooper, Jackson, and Grant - probably a very solid trio.
Like I said, you may not agree with it, but there are perfectly reasonable arguments to be made for Cooper at 5.
