that Cooks will perform much better than the 23rd pick in the draft. In fact, somebody listed the last 15 #23 picks, and it was 15 out of 15 based on that list.
You get a top player at a very reasonable salary for 1 year is the worst case and a proven top player.
The Rams may sign him, but my understanding the way this works if he leaves, you still get a 3rd round pick back the following season.
I love the aggressive approach myself. It is a way to get top players for a lower salary and in the NFL - Not for Long league - you have to think NOW.
