I think the soft comments come from the fact that he is only 5'9".

I think Watkins was plan A but he priced himself out of the market.

Cooks I think they like better than Watkins and view this as an upgrade.

They had to give up a first rounder for Cooks and did try and resign Watkins which is why I think they had him as plan A.

On a side not we seem to be loaded at the WR position with a bunch of proven young guys. Funny how that could happen under McVay and not Fisher.
