Cooper is a nice pickup, but I'm not sure he is a legitimate #1 WR. And then DPJ probably isn't a #2 WR. I'm pretty optimistic about David Bell as a potential #3 / slot guy, but his combine results were pretty rough. I think it is an improvement on what they had last year, but I'd still say it's a below average WR group.
Watson will make every single one of those WR's better. Cooper had been playing with a very good, but somewhat limited QB in Dak Prescott imo. Watson is
a lot better than Dak Prescott. Cooper can easily get back to having 1,110-1,200 yard seasons with DeShaun Watson imo. They don't need him to be a 1,500+ yard WR- Watson will spread the ball around and their running game will dominate. Not to mention they'll have Kareem Hunt who will flourish in the pass game like he did in KC with Watson as well- RB's that can catch that ball are at a premium in todays NFL.
DPJ is as athletic as it gets, and they don't need him carry the WR corps- they just need to use that athleticism to make a couple big chunk plays a game. And he will get better playing with Watson- who is like a brand new 2022 Ferrari compared to Baker Mayfield who is like a busted up '76 Pinto.
Don't give a sh*t about the combine. David Bell was the best WR in the B1G last year and his hands and route running are ridiculous. He will be a chain mover and WAY better than anyone realizes. He'll play right away- he is NFL ready in terms of his route running and hands. He'll wind up being there #2 and move the chains- and DPJ will wind up being a big play guy for them who is capable of hitting the home run every once in awhile.
DeShaun Watson is one of the top 5 QB's in the NFL when he's playing. Baker Mayfield wasn't anywhere near that universe. Baker Mayfield
kinda sucks. All those skill guys are going to get a lot better just by playing with DeShaun Watson.
