I know there was talk about Philly looking to trade LB Mychal Kendricks. How would you guys feel about Cooks for a 2nd rounder and Kendricks?

From Rotoworld

A source told Philly Voice's Jimmy Kempski that the Eagles are indeed likely to trade SLB Mychal Kendricks.
Kempski previously strongly speculated Kendricks would be moved, and he now has a source confirming it. Kendricks regressed into a lightly used sub-package linebacker under first-year DC Jim Schwartz, playing fewer snaps than both MLB Jordan Hicks and WLB Nigel Bradham. If the Eagles can't find a taker for the remainder of Kendricks' five-year, $30 million deal, Kempski believes they may designate him a post-June 1 cut, freeing up $5 million in cap room. The Eagles would likely be willing to deal Kendricks for a mid- to late-round pick. Feb 12 - 7:01 PM


Someone to keep Anthony company?

Nope. I wouldn't ... Kendricks is on his way out (release/cut) of Philly anyway.
Philly must think we are stupid.

It's a first and Kendricks (Philly is changing their scheme)...We traded our first (R1,27th & R3,91st to get the 20th pick (850 net) and select Cooks, then you factor the pro Cooks has become and his proven production, age, etc...

Cooks is now an established, proven, elite receiver and opposite Jordan Matthews, keep the heat on 'em and get the 15th pick from 'em (Minnesota's pick) and then you can really jump start the defense, or trade that 15th pick down and pick up even more in this incredible draft...

The change came when Kelly got the boot and after Kendricks signed the big deal. Pressure is placed on the DL not the LB as it was with Kelly. This is not using Kendricks to maximize his skill set. Thus making that big contract unjustifiable.

Should have taken his LB brother with the Anthony pick in the 1st. That Kendrick is younger and plays all LB positions well.

I'd laugh, then hang up ... what "player" are they speaking of? Saints aren't desperate to trade. We hold the cards here.
