We may no longer have an elite LT. A lot hinges on that.
Besides, Cowherd acts like this is a player without question marks. He hasn’t been an elite WR over the past 20 games.
This is, as he says, an ‘aggressive’ move. We shouldn’t be trying to skate past the risk in it just because we’re dazzled by the potential reward.
I don't consider him elite, but other teams were in fact pushing to get Cooper...so we are not the only team that felt this way about him. It's the main reason we had to give a first round pick.
The most optimistic we can be is that Cooper and the change of scenery helps Cooper reach his first round potential, at worst, he's a high level second WR which he showed he could be in Oakland. How much of this is on Carr? We'll see.
I'm not big on WRs at all, but if it's true we were going for a WR in the first this year anyways - meh. We can still move back up into the first.
