Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
 

Dream scenario - Browns trade pick 12 to Pats for Jimmy G. Pats trade pick 12 to us for Cooks. Giving us back to back picks. Imagine if they have a handful of guys all rated about the same. We take the guy we really want at 11 then entertain offers for pick 12. Aaaaaahhhh lol I'm getting too far ahead of myself here. Like I said, dream scenario.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
 

I do believe this makes sense. Browns lol! They are trying to buy a team. Not going to work out at all. Been tried before but please do it. Very entertaining.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
 

26 picks in the next two drafts

Just spent a fortune of two guards and just claimed Marcus Martin off waivers



Now if they can just avoid drafting another Manziel, Richardson, Taylor, Gilbert,Weedon,Mingo

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
 

Considering the fact that only 30% of draftees ever become starters that means that they will most likely get eight possible starters out of those picks. Given a team only has a 53 man roster either half the current roster would need to be cut or a large percentage of those picks will be wasted. Picks do not transfer to success.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
 

Especially not when you pick like the Browns

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
 

BOOM! lol sick burn

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
 

Really interesting how all these major moves are interconnected. Browns, Pats, Us. Maybe another team or two before all is said and done. And everyone thinks they are getting the best deal when we all know somebody is going to draw the shortest straw.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
 

Cooks has 100% EVERYTHING YOU WANT IN A WR!

• SUPER ROUTE RUNNING ABILITY WHO DEFENSES HAVE TO DOUBLE TEAM AND RESPECT WHERE HE LINES UP
• UNBELIEVABLE SPEED - 2 YARDS AND NOBODY IS CATCHING HIM
• OUTSTANDING HANDS WITH TOTAL BODY CONTROL WHO NEVER TAKES HIS EYES OFF THE BALL
• STAYS HEALTHY BECAUSE HE IS STRONG AS A ROCK
• TERRIFIC JUMPING ABILITY ON HIGH THROWS AND USUALLY COMES DOWN WITH THE FREAKING BALL

HE IS A SUPERSTAR ON THE SAINTS OFFENSE.
Everything you wanted IN a WR for YEARS. He will be missed. We better get equal talent of NO FREAKING TRADE.
The only problems with him is he goes down a little easy. Still... Watch the freaking video.

HE WILL NOT BE EASILY REPLACED.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
 

I'm not saying he'll be easily replaced. But I think if a trade is made for defensive help, be it a quality starter or a high draft pick to get a quality starter, then he won't be needed as much.

We can pull videos on Graham, PT, Reggie, Robinson and on and on. The offense always survives and does fine.

Drew Brees has proven that he can take an average receiver and make him look like a superstar.

If Cooks stays, great. If he is traded for someone that will immediately help, then great.

Pound the rock with Ingram and who ever, and use the PA to open up Thomas and Snead. Use Ginn or Tommylee the Flea to open up the top.

I don't see the offense sputtering because we lost a WR. Even one as good as Cooks.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks
 

Recent update ....Cooks is due a roster bonus on tomorrow.

Hearing today the Saints make the decision on what they will do with B. Cooks. Pats and Titans maybe others in play.
