Because Herron and Campanaro are both basically Devon Wylie. No separation ability and very little experience in route running. Oh, and overrated speed.
There are sleeper WRs to be had from the 3rd round and on. Herron and Campanaro are neither of them.

I really liked Wylie's physical skill set and thought he had a chance to do good things if used correctly. The one flag was his collegiate production, and that was a big one. I wanted KC to take a chance on him but a little later than we took him. I have no problem wasting a 5th, 6th, 7th round pick on a guy you think can do it.
I don't doubt Cooks is a good receiver, but he doesn't stand the same chance Matthews has of being a good receiver IN THE NFL. I think that is the key right there. Cooks has the potential to be Steve Smith type of talent and Matthews equally could bust, but the odds are stacked in opposite directions.
Back to my first paragraph, Campanaro has a metric ton more production in college than Wylie every had and less of an injury history, another knock on Wylie coming out.
