Cooks is a good speed guy, but sucks in the open field.
Cooks isn't going to get the extra yards and make a few miss after the catch, that's why I love MT. MT will break tackles and look for more yards, same with Snead. MT>Cooks. Cooks could be good trade bait if the right deal came along. |

I don't see it happening, but stranger things have clearly been done. |

We did trade Ricky Williams while he was on his rookie contract, after all. There have been others, though less notable. |
