Oh stop with that long sited building for the future stuff. Get with the short sided win now group

I hope he does. So badly, but I can see Oakland taking him, but if he is gone, that means that Leonard Williams or Mariota is on the board more than likely so either Williams or a trade

If Williams is gone and Cooper is there get that kid here ! I'm tired of looking at stud receivers that GO UP and get it wishing we had one of those here. Once we stall in the Red Zone we'll all be here crying because Jordan Reed is the ONLY option we have won't we ? Cooper wouldn't be a bad pick in my opinion.

You said it! I think this draft is going to be very exciting because we now have some wheeler-dealer types in the NFL and there may be more trades in the first round than ever before.

The several possible Marcus Mariota trades is the most intriguing story line, of course.

As for the Skins, even if Mariota is gone when we pick, I suspect that we may still trade out of the 5th spot if the right player is there (Williams or Cooper) and the deal is right. The reasons I think that is because Scot promised RGIII that he would get him some big bodies on the OL and also because Scot is known for building the foundation by starting in the trenches. Scot may want to trade out of the 5th spot, then draft Scherff, Flowers, or La'el Collins in the first round. The trade would also give him an additional pick or picks to work with in this first year of his rebuilding plan.

Truth. I could elaborate further but this pretty much sums up my position.

If you're looking for a Red Zone threat, then Dorial Green-Beckham (6'5") is your man. He could turn out to be the best WR in this draft. High risk, high reward.

[MonkFan4Life]

Indeed KI Skins Fan. However Cooper gives me more than just a Red Zone threat. I still have a #1,... well potentially a #1 Receiver if Garcon or Jackson leaves next offseason. But Green-Beckham could be that guy.

How about this guy in the second round?

He is an interesting prospect . Being an OSU fan , I hate taking guys from Michigan . Maybe if we end up with some more picks , he would be worth a pick in rd 3 ?

This topic could be its own thread.

Not a big fan of DF though there are other guys that could be there that I like more. Some of the available OL, S, Edge rushers and other WRs I would have ahead of him. I see Devin as more of a 3rd round prospect for us.

You really can make an argument for lots of players at 5 overall. White's catch radius is about the same as Gronkowski's, and Cooper is explosive. A top young WR helps us move on from Garcon or Jackson when the time comes.

Edge rushers - you can simply never have too many. They're like pitchers. Leonard Williams would naturally replace Jason Hatcher.

I can even get behind Scherff at 5, just because he's an absolute road grater. He won't play a premium position but there's a major separation between him and next best offensive lineman.

So I say trade down and stock up.

Agree with this

Agree with this . Add a road grater and an extra a pick or two , would be great .

I hope we can strike a trade down deal that we come out of with 3 top players (starters day one )..think about it ..if RGIII was everything we had wished for ..we would not have the number 5 pick..so QB is still the issue..what player makes the most sense on a team with a huge question mark at the most important position ..does a WR make a QB better? does a stud OL make a QB better??..my dream day would be ..we swap #1 with SD we land Rivers. QB is solved for next 5 years ..we trade RGIII for 2cnd round pick admit the mistake and move on …Have I lost my mind??
