But if the player who is not at a position of need is judged to be a much better prospect than the one at a position of need, then SM would probably take the much better player. Every team makes these types of value judgements. Draft strategies are not black and white but shades of gray.

Agreed. Scotty is apparently very interested in Cooper. The question is: How much better does SM think Cooper is than Fowler or one of the other top 3 OLB prospects?

I am late to this were is the article saying Scotty is very interested in Cooper.

If Scot is seriously interested in Cooper then I would say adios to Garçon cause he will be traded. I just can't see 3 highly paid WR's (Cooper will be the cheapest) in one team. I call it a bluff.

I don't, he didn't sign Garcon but I don't see him trading him either.

In the draft, Devante Parker and Dorial Green-Beckham would be a better fit for the Redskins because of their strong red-zone ability. I've heard both being compared to AJ Green because of their size, ball skills, and athleticism.

Only problem with Green-Beckham is off-field risks for availability, but he probably won't make it past the 1st round.

And yes, there is a considerable amount of investment at the wr position, but right now it's mainly dollars and cap space and that's completely different than investing a high first round choice would be. And these wide receivers would fill one of the biggest holes on the redskins - a big red-zone target.
