The acquisition for WR Brandin Cooks is another good off-season move for the Cowboys. We got him for essentially 5th and 6th round picks, and Hou has apparently agreed to pay a chunk of Cooks’ salary next year. Cooks is a consistently solid receiver who came into the league the same time as Beckham. (I wanted to compare him with OBJ because of all the talk about getting Beckham this off-season)
STAT COMPARISON
Brandin Cooks
| Age | Receptions | Yards | TDs | Yds per Rec. | Yds per game |
| 29 | 630 | 8,616 | 49 | 13.7 | 65.3 |
Odell Beckham, Jr.
| Age | Receptions | Yards | TDs | Yds per Rec. | Yds per game |
| 30 | 531 | 7,367 | 56 | 13.9 | 76,7 |
Some quick comparisons outside of stats-
- Cooks is a little younger than Beckham by less than a year. (He was younger entering the draft)
- Cooks is about an inch shorter
- Beckham was faster coming into the league.
- Cooks is considered a dependable route runner with great hands.
- Cooks has been more durable than Beckham.
This is a very good acquisition!
