In 2 years this is going to look like a bargain. It's actually a better deal than what KC is giving Watkins and we have the better player.

I hope that the people who were sobbing over the first round pick are doing OK now.I think the thing with the pick completely depended on the situation. I have to say, if they didn't get him signed, spending the pick would have been costly. But that's all water under the burning bridge now. They did sign him in which case they got a top receiver and it's easy to say the pick was spent wisely. I figure part of this was Cooks. This was his third team in 4 years and he must have a sense that he knows what he likes in a team...and it's not just winning, cause he had that before. I can't help but think part of him just went "enough, I like it here."Let's hope the Rams don't trade him.
