Demaryius Thomas
Mike Evans
T.Y. Hilton

That's 10 off the top of my head. From there we could debate if he's better than Jarvis Landry, Amari Cooper, or Emmanuel Sanders. I don't think he's better than Michael Thomas though. Not to mention, he's an extremely small receiver...but he's no Steve Smith.

im not sure this is true, steve smith was small.

he was 7th in yards last season and that is his third year in the league. plus, he did that while another receiver on his team was at 9. he's a top 10 talent, no doubt.

and that's a respectful disagreement

I would put him above Evans, Bryant and Hilton on that list. Nelson stays injuried. And I would like to add cooks is not a #1 wr. Everyone on that list is a true #1. Cooks is a slot and the best in the league at it.

Cooks + Pick 11

for

Titans Pick 5 and 18

^ That would be highway robbery on the Saints part in my opinion. I pray that's the deal we get. If not, I'm cool with us sending Cooks to one of those AFC teams in the 10-20 range straight up. Either way, he has to go. He's a cancer with a contract coming up.

cooks +11 for their 5 is ridiculous. I wouldn't do that. cooks for 18 isn't terrible.

cooks+ 11 for 5 and 18, would mean we received 18 and pick 45 for cooks.(not literally, just points from the draft pick value) It isn't that crazy

I think it's pretty crazy if we were able to get a top 20 pick in the first round and a top 20 pick in the 2nd round for Brandin Cooks. Madden wouldn't accept that trade. Lol.

lol, well I am not saying it is going to happen just that it isn't that crazy and who knopws we could throw a pick back, but 18 for cooks wouldn't be bad. I just wouldn't give cooks and our 11 to move 6 spots. 18 and cooks probably good deal

lee909 · 03-07-2017, 04:21 PM

Teams wont give up really high picks for a player that isnt a QB maybe a top notch pass rusher.
Cooks isnt even a true number 1 WR
He has 2300 yards and 17 TDs in 2 years. He isnt a Calvin Johnson,Odel Beckahm,Julio Jones or Antonio Brown putting up monster numbers

He will want 12ml a year after this year and he isnt worth a top 10 pick to most teams. Why would you give up multiple picks when you coulf go and grab Pryor,Jeffery,Marshall for nothing

K Major · 03-07-2017, 04:23 PM

The value needs to be there. What the Saints are doing isn't common. Even last year when NE traded Jones, he was in the last year of his deal. We are trading a top 15 WR with 2 years left on his rookie deal. That's the absolute pinnacle value he will ever have even if he actually becomes a better WR later.

Que Sera, Sera.

foreverfan · 03-07-2017, 05:08 PM

Cooks will be incredible for another team.

Picks 5+18=23 23-11=12 round for Cooks who is a seasoned veteran with PROVEN experience.
He is worth the 12 pick in the 1st round at age 24.
Now we threaten to draft a LSU RB then bankrupt Carolina him. LOL
What do you think, they can afford to give? Sounds great to me.

Trade our A$$ off and rebuild the defense 4 picks in the first 2 rounds. LOL

Euphoria · 03-07-2017, 10:34 PM

SO with the 5th pick in the draft our choices are:
- Jamal Adams, S, LSU
- Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU

Could we live with 11 and 18 being:
- Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan
- Haason Reddick, LB, Temple

Riddick had an insane combine.

Maybe the Eagles know where they stand in the hypothetical Cooks talks?
