Brandin Cooks Trade Talks

The only thing that bothers me about this trade is this. Drew is getting older. When he was young you could pretty much put anyone out there and he would get them the ball. We have gotten away with basically no name receivers. As he gets older he is going to need players that can go out and make plays. Players that can get their hands on a poorly thrown pass and get yards.
It also sets us up for the post Brees era. A new qb is gonna need as much help as possible. With cooks in the lineup and Thomas coming out balling we may very well have one of the best receiving corps in the league.

We will take Davis Webb in the 3rd

Aside from Randy Moss for a year or two Tom Brady has been throwing to many players that wouldn't be on most teams' rosters, let alone starting at #1 or 2 as a WR and winning SBs. Wasn't Edelman a running back when Welker and Moss were the WRs?

The need for receivers as glaring before the Thomas pick. This front office is playing the Fleener redemption hope card.

Is there any indication that any of this will happen soon? With the way Brees takes care of his body and the fact that he is one of the best ever, it is likely he will be the Saints QB, playing at a high level, for another four to five years.
