Disagree 100%, what I watched was VERY Smith-like, Austin is an inch shorter atleast and gives up ten pounds... thats no comparison at all.
I'll admit to only having watched Cooks highlight reel, but he made several plays in traffic against bigger guys in it, and his cutting ability and quicks were off the charts.
Beckham is definitely intriguing as well, he's a notch bigger but also a step slower and not as quick as far as I can tell... I would be fine with either, but am of the definite opinion that the guy quickest in and out of his breaks is the best fit for Alex Smith.
