Which two solid drafts? Please tell me the players you're referring to?

No getting past negativity.

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.

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.

Garoppolo to Browns = 12th - Cooks.

This is the only scenario I see possible.

Re: Brandin Cooks Trade Talks

I think last years draft has looked very positive. Its too early to tell yet but there has promise from Rankins,Thomas and Onyemata have shown plnty of flashes of potential. Bell needs to step it up a bit but playing in that backfield its hard to blame him too much
