Better not just be swapping picks as it makes no sense

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
 

i don't like the trade idea but i will accept it only if we beef up needed positions with picks or trade, i'm still holding on to the thought that he will not fetch a 1 pick, its a drew brees thing, he will not produce anywhere without the payton playbook. that greener pasture thing again. marriotta will help him better there. without a cast of good recei:blueshock:vers brandon will have meltdown charley brown.:blueshock:

I guess we should go ahead and put the final nail in the coffin of that abysmal 2014 draft.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
 

According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, the Titans are the frontrunners to acquire Brandin Cooks in a deal that could send the No. 18 overall pick to the Saints.

"The Saints look like they are intent on rebuilding their defense," Adam Schefter added, and they are targeting a first-rounder to do that. Per Mort, another scenario would involve the Titans sending the No. 5 pick and "another pick or two" to New Orleans in exchange for No. 11 overall. As Tennessee holds the Nos. 5 and 18 overall selections in the draft, GM Jon Robinson is armed to make aggressive moves. The Titans' two biggest needs are wideout and cornerback.Related: TitansSource: ESPN.comMar 2 - 12:38 PM

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
 

We gave up a first and a third to get a short speedster. We need a speedster to open the deep ball from Drew so the middle is open for Thomas, Snead and our tight ends. He fills his role nicely here once Payton figured out how to use him properly. He benefits the team now.

I can't recall who we have on the practice squad that could possibly fill that role so I am extremely hesitant about trading a 1,000 yard receiver for a simple trade up in the draft where we only have six picks.......go figure!

I want their first round pick, a third round and a defensive starter if I am even going to consider this deal that I really don't want to make in the first place. We paid dearly for him and I'm not giving him up cheaply. If another team wants him then they need to pony up.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
 

I'd reeeaaally like to get our hands on that #5 pick, but I wouldn't want it at the expense of #11. I'd like to see something like we send them Cooks and a 4th and possibly swap picks in the 3rd and we get #5 and keep #11

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
 

So thats pick 11 and Cooks for 5 plus a couple of others?

Not keen on that unless its a 2/3 and future picks or player

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
 

I don't know... I think that would be a pretty good deal. Cooks isn't THAT great. Cooks and pick 11 for pick 5 and a 3rd rounder.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
 

I don't think we could keep both the 5 and 11. That would be impossible. 11 is a great spot for salary issues. Rules start changing right there. This is a tough one for me. We likely get better on D but also that weakness gets transferred to the offense. Not feeling this one. Cooks keeps teams honest and opens up the field.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
 

agree it probably not feasible, no money for all, it is probably the 18th pick with a player or 2 and a 5th. something of that sort, i don't see them giving up the 5 pick for the little guy. hes a solid player with heart and alot of us would be pissed if not returned with block buster trade. like they say proven commodity.
