Then hope we don't get decimated by injuries again.

If there was a way we could get multiple picks, or manage to keep our 11th and get the titans 5th pick I'd be all for it. Two 1st rounders in a defensive heavy draft could be huge for us.

Not hope...pray

If we trade Cooks and Snead or Thomas get hurt we better be able to run the ball like Dallas.

Well if he doesn't get traded does that become a problem? After being rumored of a trade candidate he could really be disgruntled after that and want to leave us for sure when contract is up

This made us forget about Jairus Byrd pretty quickly lol.

I wanted that freakin' #5 pick to begin with. The #5 gives so much more leverage in the draft, coupled with the #11 your able to basically move back at other teams expense and get the players and picks that you actually target. Ireland can put together a D fairly well, and if losing Cook to get us there I'm all in. We need cb.'s, NT, DE, S and an OLB, some of this will come from FA but the draft is deep at DE, CB, and S and I look to see some true upgrades at CB this season in the draft. I also think Colemans progress made Cook tradeable. Now I hope Vaccarro gets a turn on the trading block.

On second thought I probably would do it. LF is a greater threat than Cooks and the Panthers are going to snag him more than likely. I do not want to face LF twice a year. Cooks does not generate that threat level to me and the first problem to solve is winning the Division. LF is going to be a problem for years if the Panthers get him.

In this draft 1st rounder for Cooks is a great deal. If we can get 5th pick for Cooks that would be one of the best moves our front office has ever made. But I highly doubt that would happen. 18th pick is more realistic.

LF could also help our D (keeping them off the field) and give our old QB a break. Panthers would then be scrambling around to get the other RB Cook more than likely which probably won't happen for them.
