00:00Now that McDaniels is here, I have qualms about McDaniels being here,

00:03but now that he's here and this is the offense you're running,

00:06you need a slot receiver.

00:08And Cooper Cup is more than just that.

00:10He's not just a slot receiver.

00:11He can light up outside and he can move around the formation,

00:14which I think is another strength of his.

00:16But you need a guy to make it go and you need a safety blanket for Drake May.

00:20So Cooper Cup is not fixing your offense by himself.

00:23But if you're talking about even a third round pick or a fourth round pick,

00:27a mid-round pick for this guy, and all you're talking about is paying his salary,

00:31I think he's well worth that investment for this offense.

00:34I think he's a no-brainer.

00:35Then you bring in another piece.

00:36Well, yeah.

00:37And so if people are saying, like, no, I don't want Cooper Cup,

00:40and they want, you know, A.J. Brown, T. Higgins, D.K. Metcalf, and Travis Hunter,

00:44then fine.

00:45But, like, I don't think you're getting all four of those guys, three of those guys,

00:49two of those guys, maybe even one of those four.

00:51I want all those guys, too.

00:53But I'm just trying to think of what is realistic.

00:55So A.J. Brown might not get traded.

00:58T. Higgins might get franchised.

01:01D.K. Metcalf maybe either doesn't get traded, or somebody comes in and has a better offer,

01:05right, and he goes somewhere else.

01:07Maybe Travis Hunter gets picked before you even have a chance.

01:10So now there's all these things that might just be out of your control,

01:14and you can make a deal for Cooper Cup.

01:16I think you absolutely should.

01:17Yeah, so Cooper Cup and Travis Hunter.

01:19Cooper Cup and T. Higgins.

01:22Like, and that's a big investment at wide receiver.

01:25But something like that.

01:27Cooper Cup and a wide receiver, and this is dangerous, Keith,

01:30but a wide receiver at 38.

01:31I know Wolf hasn't been great at drafting him.

01:33I don't think I want to do that.

01:34Grable and Cowden don't have the greatest track record there either,

01:36but okay, but something like that.

01:39Cup by himself is not going to fix your wide receiver room.

01:41But if it's him and another piece, and Cup is a minimal investment.

01:44But, like, your second, third-round pick or your fourth-round pick,

01:49whatever you get there.

01:50So basically you're Javon Baker from a year ago.

01:52If you flip that and get Cooper Cup for a couple years,

01:55I think it's worthy.

01:56Like, I don't, you can't pencil him into the lineup for years and years to come.

02:00But can he help really ignite Drake May, give that big year two jump?

02:05We talk all the time about all the quarterbacks that were, like,

02:08kind of scuffling, added a big-time receiver, and then they kind of launched.

02:12And then they're still good even without those receivers.

02:14And so Cooper Cup is not, you know, Justin Jefferson or Tyree Kill

02:17at this stage of his career.

02:18But compared to what you have.
