Why are we chasing 100s of unrealistic playoff scenarios instead of positioning to draft this kid

Indy got to roll into Luck from Peyton why not Amari from Dre
I would love for us to draft that kid. But you play to win the games.
Indy went from
Peyton -> Luck
Harrison -> Wayne -> Hilton
Freeney -> Mathis

What does this have to do with us tanking for Cooper?
I'm agreeing with you. We don't need to tank to find talent to win. The Colts may have tanked to get Luck, but they didn't tank to get Freeney, Mathis, Harrison, Wayne, or Hilton.
Gotcha! I misunderstood the point you were making. I thought you were saying we needed to tank to try to match up
I polled five NFL executives and asked them where Cooper would rank among the star-studded 2014 class. Here are their answers:
Executive No. 1: Fourth
"He would rank right behind Sammy, Odell and Mike Evans. I have him graded the same as Cooks and Benjamin coming out."
Executive No. 2: Fourth
"I'd have him behind Watkins, Beckham and Evans. I think there's a significant drop behind those three guys. Then I'd have Cooper above Cooks, Benjamin and (Green Bay's Davante) Adams."
Executive No. 3: Second
"I like Cooper better than Evans coming out but I thought Sammy was the best of the bunch. (Cooper) would be second on my sequence list of wideouts."
Executive No. 4: Third
"I would slide him in at No. 3, behind Watkins and Beckham but ahead of Benjamin and Evans."
Executive No. 5: Third
"I put him right behind Evans and Watkins due to size. I loved Brandin Cooks but I'd put Cooper just ahead of him. He's a better player all-around. Despite the freaky catch (on Sunday), I'd still have Cooper over Beckham."
I like Amari Cooper, but I like Kevin White more. Bigger more NFL ready body with big hands.
Sources: Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper ran 4.31 to 4.37, not 4.42 at combine http://shar.es/1fLL0W via @footballpost
i would definitely offer our 16 to move up in the draft to draft him.
Gee... who could possibly turn that down?
based on the draft value chart, wed be crazy not to do it.
this is funny chit... I'd give up 16 to move to 4 also![]()
This IS funny!
Heck....with everyone screaming over Kevin White and now with Perriman's 40....Cooper may fall to us.
That would be epic & justice served.
Not sure I follow but yes...yes it would.
For passing on WR position 2014, considered by many best ever. Cooper would rank right up there. Does it make any sense now?
Shh..just three more weeks. Let him fall...This kid is easily the best prospect at WR in the draft. Unfortunately, folks are falling in love with the measureables of guys like Kevin White who to me is more athlete than natural WR. People forget that technique matters and Cooper's technique is immaculate; a natural WR; so smooth out of his breaks...precision route runner and a very good hands catcher. He' also damn goods in the open field too. Reminds me of Reggie Wayne, Torry Holt, Greg Jennings when he playing out wide....Randall Cobb when he's in the open field.
Per @ryanohalloran, Justin Blackmon is "done-zo" with the Jaguars. Thinks Amari Cooper is in play at No. 3 overall: http://t.co/KsDyuHPujU
