I'll give you Gates and Gonzalez. They are bar none the two best ends in the league.

But if you look at the stats over the past three seasons, Cooley has as many TD's as Crumpler (19), and more than Witten (13), Clark (13), and Heap (16).

His # of catches over that time (165) is waaay more than Clark (92) and right on par with Witten, Heap, and Crumpler.

As far as yards go, Crumpler and Witten have averaged about 200 yds a year more over that time, but Cooley is nearly identical to Heap and has 600 more yards than Clark.

And finally, remember that all of these guys have been in league at least one season longer than Cools, most of them even longer. Plus Cooley is a locker room favorite, has maybe the best hands on our team, and is phenomenal after the catch. Don't get me wrong, I'm not anointing the kid, but I think he's worth what we gave up to get him.
