How would this benefit us? NE's first pick is still 32nd.

Package Ealy and Butler for B Cooks and I'd be happy.

Not sure on that
It would blow our cap next year with both needing big extensions next year

Exactly
Moving up 12 spots and taking on a 12-16ml contract is a terrible deal.

Typical New England deal

Well that's that... Going DE early and often in the draft.

I am all for trading Cooks but trading him for Ealy and Butler is bad business. I prefer them to move away from a New England trade. They don't have a draft pick position worth the trade unless they give up a 1st rd pick and 4th rd pick. If anything they need to talk to Cleveland for that 12th rd pick which they're not even ready to trade until it's confirm that the qb they're targeting is off the board. Most likely have to trade Cooks for a 2018 1st rd pick and 4th rd pick this year hopefully 49ers might bite

I agree. I don't want the FO to get into a frenzy trying to get rid of Cooks. Sometimes these things can get out of hand and it turns into just getting the trade done instead of making sure that it's fair.
