I was wrong

[Sydla]

Cooper was worth a first round pick.

I never doubted Cooper’s talent, I just didn’t like the pick. But he’s been even better than I expected.

At this point, trading what will likely be a mid to late 20s pick was worth it.

I called the Roy Williams trade all over again. Whoops...

Great move by the front office

Cooper wasnt worth a 1st round pick.

He was worth a 1st and a 3rd.

 

[kevm3]

Jerry has to get his props for this trade. Most on this board thought he was a lunatic, me included, for giving up the 1st.

 

[gmoney112]

I'm with you man. I knew he was good, but I didn't realize he was just being under utilized so much in Oakland. I also didn't realize how fast that dude is in pads. I'll eat my crow. Happily.

Cooper is good. Lets hope the QB play gets more consistent. Cooper will start getting doubled. Dak is going to have to figure out how to hit Gallup in stride and maybe rediscover Allen Hurns.

 

[Point-of-the-Star]

I screamed and ranted about it. I'll take my crow deep fried with a beer batter.

To be fair, who was completely comfortable with it given our history?

I appreciate people admitting it.

I just didn't like the risk of it being top 10 if the team went south.

Now that that is out of the way.. greatest trade ever.

 

[Mobinvans]

I was for it from the beginning but I'm always right...sooooo

Lol

 

[ShortRound]

Yup I was wrong as well.

Same here
I hated the trade because I thought (and still do) that we need a QB and also thought that it would be a high pick (which it won't)

 

[WillieBeamen]

Hes worth a first but if u think about it, he mightve cost us long term

Now Garrett and dak are here to stay

Trades that happened 20 and 10 years ago have no impact on today

We need to erase our memories every 5 years

Good Lord, the Roy Williams trade was ten years ago? When did I get so old?

 

[droopdog7]

To be fair, who was completely comfortable with it given our history?

I was completely comfortable with it. A top five pick with pro bowls in his past and only 24 years old coming to a team that needed a receiver desperately while keeping him away from the iggles. I mean, what was not to like?

Don’t get me wrong, he’s exceeded expectations. But it was not at all a bad trade at the time,

 

[Daillest88]

Best WR we have had since T.O

I wouldn't say I was wrong. I think we could have gotten him for lower compensation. But I'm not all that upset about it now. I thought we would be giving up a high No. 1 but we're not.
If we keep on winning, this makes giving up the pick even better. The lower we're drafting, the more I like the trade.

Same here. I doubted both the talent and compensation. I'll admit I don't watch a lot of Oakland games, but the numbers and the brief highlights I had seen didn't do much to move the needle for me. I wasn't expecting this kind of ceiling from him at all.
