Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks

I read this article and this doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, well at least not the one part. I could see us taking the 18th for cook, although I'd try to get a first and second. Anyway this article says 18 for cooks straight up or cooks and our 11th for their 5th. I don't really think the second scenario makes any sense. We lose cooks and only move 6 spots for it...

Titans are reportedly the front-runners to trade for the Saints' Brandin Cooks - CBSSports.com
We, as in the fans, are probably adding more value to Cooks then the teams interested in him are. Cooks alone is worth a 1st rounder, but not a top 10 pick. Anywhere from around 15 and up is equal value for Cooks.

Cooks + Pick 11

for

Titans Pick 5 and 18

^ That would be highway robbery on the Saints part in my opinion. I pray that's the deal we get. If not, I'm cool with us sending Cooks to one of those AFC teams in the 10-20 range straight up. Either way, he has to go. He's a cancer with a contract coming up.

Cooks is a top 10 receiver. If the tables were turned I'd give up our number 11 pick for him in a heartbeat.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks

Teams wont give up really high picks for a player that isnt a QB maybe a top notch pass rusher.
Cooks isnt even a true number 1 WR
He has 2300 yards and 17 TDs in 2 years. He isnt a Calvin Johnson,Odel Beckahm,Julio Jones or Antonio Brown putting up monster numbers

He will want 12ml a year after this year and he isnt worth a top 10 pick to most teams. Why would you give up multiple picks when you coulf go and grab Pryor,Jeffery,Marshall for nothing

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks

The value needs to be there. What the Saints are doing isn't common. Even last year when NE traded Jones, he was in the last year of his deal. We are trading a top 15 WR with 2 years left on his rookie deal. That's the absolute pinnacle value he will ever have even if he actually becomes a better WR later.

Que Sera, Sera.

cooks +11 for their 5 is ridiculous. I wouldn't do that. cooks for 18 isn't terrible.

cooks+ 11 for 5 and 18, would mean we received 18 and pick 45 for cooks.(not literally, just points from the draft pick value) It isn't that crazy

I don't believe he's top 10. Possibly top 15.

Julio Jones
Odell Beckham, Jr.
Antonio Brown
DeAndre Hopkins
Dez Bryant
A.J. Green
Jordy Nelson
Demaryius Thomas
Mike Evans
T.Y. Hilton

That's 10 off the top of my head. From there we could debate if he's better than Jarvis Landry, Amari Cooper, or Emmanuel Sanders. I don't think he's better than Michael Thomas though. Not to mention, he's an extremely small receiver...but he's no Steve Smith.

I think it's pretty crazy if we were able to get a top 20 pick in the first round and a top 20 pick in the 2nd round for Brandin Cooks. Madden wouldn't accept that trade. Lol.
