Big, fast, he's a faster Dwayne Bowe if Dwayne Bowe could run better routes.
I've said it before, but I was reading somewhere where one NFL scout thought that Moncrief had the chance to be the best WR out of this entire draft when it was all said and done.
I think Cooks is a pure slot guy. He doesn't seem to have the smoothness of Beckham or his ability to highpoint the ball.
And at this point, I think I'd pick Texas' Mike Davis before Marquis Lee. Lee, while talented, didn't look to be the same guy without Robert Woods opposite of him.

I agree taking a #1 receiver. i'd take moncrief or Matthews over cooks/lee.
why take a guy limited to only being a slot guy/flank? why not take a guy who can develop into the #1 role and take bowes spot?
Also I looked at the league leaders in receiving yards a while back and I think only 4 guys in the top 20 were shorter than 6'.
I do still love lee though. he showed us what he can do when all cylinders are firing. he's young, he's overcome a lot in his life. so we know he can overcome a bad season. he was dealt a pretty rough hand last season. lost the woods as you said, but was also injured most of the season, while playing with a new qb who was a RS freshman. And then you have to factor in teams scheming against him. I do think taking davis over him is pretty silly... but I would still take moncrief or Matthews.
