Cobb has the potential to be an elite top 5 WR IMO especially now that he is going to be taken off the return game. While Hilton has potential, he isn't close because of the injury history & lack of physicality- a gamble at 1.04 does not close that gap.
Cobb is not elite or top 5 IMO. He is a solid WR2 with low end WR1 potential to me. If you see him as elite then you certainly make that trade. I just don't. There is little separation between him and Hilton to me.
I said potential to be elite. Remember he hasn't been a full-time WR until this year which makes is upside higher. Hilton has a long list of injuries that go way back throughout his college years. While he has potential as well, he's small and doesn't seem to have strength to make him elite. I see his upside as Mike Wallace
Have to take issue with the Hilton injury claims. I don't have the numbers in front of me but I live in Miami where he played high school and college ball. I only remember him being dinged during his senior year with the ankle. It limited him but he played through it. He only got stronger in his rookie year while other rooks faded.. No doubt he's a bit undersized but he has super-quicks. My comp for him is Desean but he has much better character and a much better quarterback.
Fair enough, I'm only repeating what I have read.

This isn't the only report of Hilton's hammy's Hilton’s second issue is that he is somewhat injury prone. During his college career Hilton often suffered hamstring injuries, which kept him out of several games including all-star games and the NFL combine. After the first day of Colt’s mini-camp in early May, Hilton had to leave because of strained quadriceps.
Colt’s coach Chuck Pagano commented on Hilton’s injury saying, “he’s a little banged up. I know he can run and I know he is explosive.”
Hilton’s durability (or lack thereof) might compromise his playing time in 2012. However, this is a rebuilding year for the Colts, and Hilton will have his chances to prove himself at the professional level. With a new QB and other offensive weapons, Hilton could become a great receiving option for Andrew Lock. No matter what, I am certain we will see him on the field as the special teams punt and kick receiver at the Colts opening game. As long as he can stay healthy, that is.
