JetBlue Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 This time last year no one could have predicted just how good Beckham would be. He was taken 12th by the Giants. This year everyone is singing the praises of Amari Cooper and I understand why but he is no Odell Beckham, I'm sorry. This kid was/is downright sick. Jets can't do anything right. We can't even pick the right year to go 4-12.... smdh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2zzUB6WMmk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetscrazey Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Cooper is going to be a very good receiver in his own right. His ability to catch and run is special. Very little wasted motion in his movements. Great natural hands. He's used to being the workhorse catching 10-12 balls a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Beckham's totally overrated. In fact, he kind of sucks. It's all Eli feeding him a bunch of easy to catch passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Plus he's all ooooohhh look at me I can catch a ball with one hand. An NFL pro catches with 2 hands. College kids do 1 hand, only get 1 foot in, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadetree Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I think it's crazy to compare cooper to OBJ. OBJ lit up the NFL. Cooper isn't even in OBJs stratosphere. Like every college player coming out, he's a "maybe." This is a conversation for this time, next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Lonelyhearts Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Cooper is a better prospect and it's not even close. Beckham didn't have the production. Having worked out in hindsight isn't the same as being a sure thing going in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTL Jet Fan Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 The one player I was hoping we drafted last year was OBJ and we all know how that turned out. This year hopefully we take either Cooper or White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I remember last year we all thought OBJ was the pick if he fell, some mocks even had us picking him at 18. It didn't work out, like most of the time on draft day. However, cooper is a really good talent and can be a really good receiver. So should we not draft him because he most likely isn't as good as OBJ? If he's BAP you take him. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If fowlers there I want him. If they take cooper, it won't be a a bad pick, just not MY pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title brings up a memory of an epically long thread in the jetsinsider draft forum last year that was Beckham vs Cooks, that one went on for pages and pages.

In fact, if the Giants didn't even know he would be this good because if they did they would have traded up to get him and not risk someone else stealing him before they selected. Cooper could be a bust or he could end up with a better career than ODB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Harper Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Cooper is a better prospect and it's not even close. Beckham didn't have the production. Having worked out in hindsight isn't the same as being a sure thing going in. Knowing what we know now, that is kinda silly. Cooper will not match Beckham's production. Beckham had the best rookie WR season ever, basically, and he had it in 12 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HessStation Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I doubt Beckham is going to sustain the same type of success in his sophomore year. That said, I don't really understand the point of this thread at all. ODJ had probably the greatest rookie season a WR could ever have this side of Randy Moss. Why are we setting the bar this high again, for not just Cooper, but any rookie??? Also somebody sort of brought this up already, ODB comes nowhere near that production in the Jets system last year, as with most other teams. Cooper's a great prospect and is most likely going to be an excellent pro. I'll take that at 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prime21 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 If they both came out last year or this year, Cooper would be picked over Beckham because had better stats and grades better in most categories. If Beckham fell to us in the 1st round last year then people would not know who this kid is besides us. Geno would not get him the ball and he wouldn't have all those stats he complied with the Giants. Heck, getting selected by the Giants was like hitting the lotto for him. Eli loves to throw them up there whether they are covered or not which is why he throws so many into's. Beckham's crazy skill for grabbing jump balls is perfect for Eli. That is not all Beckham does but it makes for highlight films. Cooper could have been good with Eli but wouldn't match OBJ's numbers. Wasn't Sammy Watkins the next big thing? He could be but not with out the QB he needs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Also a guy like Beckham shows you how much an elite Wr can help a QB. Eli gets credit for a nice 40 yard td bomb on a play he over throws the ball badly, the WR was interfered with and the guy makes a circus catch. Geno smith throws the same pass and he is a bum for over throwing his receiver. I'd gladly take a guy like3 White at #6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
