I agree... but if for some reason he falls to the 4-5 round it is a shot I would be willing to take. We wouldnt be wasting a 1st rounder on him like we did with Baldwin.

I suppose 4th or 5th round, I'd take a shot at Benjamin, as well, but even as a UDFA, I still don't think he'd last very long or fit into Reid's Offense.
Getting back to Brandin Cooks, I know that people have concerns about his size, but we saw a WR of the exact same size named Doug Baldwin have a field day against the Donkeys in the Super Bowl.
Granted...there's some truth their about being KJ another Baldwin, wouldn't waste a 1st or even a 3rd on the guy.
The reason why I'm toying with the idea, is that when Reid was building Philly with McNabb, everyone complained they needed a big physical WR to really take off. They signed TO, and although they didn't win it, they made it to the big dance. TO was a free agent with an ego the size of the moon, but still think that the idea of having a big physical WR to balance out the speedier ones would give our opponents something to really struggle with.
I'd absolutely love it if Bowe would just cut his drops in half and be a reliable reciever. Going from Brian Daboll's offense to Andy Reid's must've been like going from wood shop to physics class. And no, he most certainly does not have an ego like TO's by any stretch!
This is EXACTLY the problem. Bowe is supposed to be that big, physical WR that can battle anybody out there for possession of the ball.
I didn't see it last year.
He's going to cost us $12 million this year. If he doesn't turn into a star this year then he needs to go.
Cutting him for 2015 would free up $3.5 million in cap space and if Bowe is not living up to his money then there are certainly going to be players that deserve and want that $3.5 mill more Bowe does.
If Bowe doesn't come up HUGE this year then I say he's not worth pishing on if his hair is on fire.
I really like Beckham. Once he ran a sub 4.4 I knew chances of drafting him became nil.
