As a Falcons fan, I honestly hope not. There are other things that need addressing. Cooper's great, but the Falcons would be better off taking a hybrid pass-rusher.

That's a common sentiment, I don't necessarily get the logic though. Make a bad position good or a good position unstoppable. Teams can gameplan around a pass rusher. It's pretty hard to stop 3-4 really really good wide receivers. Don't know why they would give up the opportunity. They resigned white and will likely resign Julio. Get Cooper for a rookie contract rate to team with those two guys and address the needs later in the draft. There isn't s game changing pass rusher mocked behind Cooper.

Basically, which move makes the Falcons harder to beat. Adding a pass rusher to a team with no pass rushers, or adding another dynamic WR to a team with a great and two good wide receivers. I think Cooper makes a bigger differnce than any one pass rusher would in Atlanta, particularly in this division.

A pass-rusher makes more sense, but in his mock he has Gregory, Williams, Ray, and Fowler taken before our pick. No other pass-rushers would be worthy of a top 10 pick. In this scenario, Cooper would make sense. It would make more sense to trade down to a team that needs a star WR though. Falcons also need depth.
