However, I think that McBride is very close to Parker in terms of his catch radius and he's better off the line and on his breaks.
If La'el Collins isn't there, I'm inclined to take a freak in the first versus just a "good player at a position of need."

I haven't watched a whole lot of McBride. I'll have to check him out. Parker just kind of reminds me of a poor mans aj green. Tall, slender build, and such a good red zone target. I do prefer cooper over him though. That guy is so fluid in everything he does.
I've seen a few mocks where they had both available at the saints pick. And I think that's going to be the one you'd have to trade up for to jump the Dolphins.
