How many successful WRs out there that were true #1 targets and stood under 5'10", which Brandin Cooks does, in the recent history of the NFL (past 30 years)? Only one I can think of is Steve Smith.
Wes Welker has always had someone better playing around him (Moss, Gronk, Hernandez, D. Thomas, J. Thomas) Maybe Desean Jackson? He's too inconsistent to be a true #1, IMO. He's either big splash or long stretches of nothing in games. More of a specialist like Mike Wallace. Now, tell my how many great WRs in the recent history (past 30 years) of the NFL stood at or over 6'1" (my cut off for the #1 WR minimum height)? Take a guess at which list is a hell of a lot longer.

I realize, however, that they are a bunch of imbeciles on this board that refuse to believe a guy that put up #1 numbers with absolute shit throwing him the ball is a #1 WR, but this team needs a compliment to Bowe, not another ****ing Bowe. Can you imagine how unbearable it would be if the Chiefs had selected the under 6'1 receiver named Torrey Smith instead of Jonathan Baldwin? OH THE ****ING HORROR!!!!!!!

Bowe will be 30 yrs old by the start of the season, and has a cap # of $12 million this yr, and $14 million in 2015. That is a lot for a guy with 673 regular season receiving yrds in 2013. |

And Bowe isn't going anywhere so you might as well get used to him being on the team. |

Bowe will also be on the wrong side of 30, so the time is now to find and develop a #1 wr. |

And ya, they are going to cut Bowe for that 3.5M savings... If I'm not mistaken Bowe is fully guaranteed for 2015. |

I think Reid will put the best wr on the field and either of those guys could line up in the slot.
chiefs not have much cap room in 2015 as well. That 3.5 million can go toward Houston, Berry, or Poe if Bowe is not living up to his contract. only 1.75 million of his 2015 pay is guaranteed. |

Still not sold on Cooks. He can be a weapon sure but not convinced as a true #1. Michael Irvin says you can cover the field ever which way but you can't cover a man vertically so.. be wary of little dude receivers. Last time I checked Avery still smokes him in the 40 and he's on the shorter side too at 5'11.
Bowe was used extensively lining up or motioning into the slot for the last few games so they should be looking for a #1 who can play split end or flanker (preferably split end to replace Bowe in base personnel) in the draft, not another option in the slot. |
