Re: Drafting Players vs Trading for Players
1 year left on his rookie deal plus the option year is the huge trade value boost for the saints with cook. that and his production. but a first rounder would not be in the mix if cooks was under a veteran contract.
I like the proven vet and a pick from a team to move up in the draft myself |

Re: Drafting Players vs Trading for Players
Depends on who that vet is.
I really hope they dont blink and accept Barwin or Kendricks from the Eagles. I think youll be sble to get either for a very late pick or even after they've been cut |

Re: Drafting Players vs Trading for Players
I take the draft pick buy low sale high.
It works for the smart teams do. Stay out of cap trouble and and help your teams in areas that need it most. This is the year to trade a O player to stock up on D. |

Re: Drafting Players vs Trading for Players
Trading to a needy team has it's advantages although if we had good talent evaluators drafting well could win Championships. Hell, the right mix of both might work too.....who knows?
