Re: Brandin Cooks Officially Traded to Patriots

Just echoing others, but Cooks was a luxury. We won't go over the top enough to keep him happy here. That's not against him, but this was all about the fact that we were not now nor ever going to pay him like Julio Jones. We did him a favor and saved ourselves a headache that had already started, and we got a couple picks in a defense-rich draft.

That's a win. I have a feeling we like somebody in the draft a lot...just guessing...

Seriously speaking, Sean Payton and the Saints organization must have really wanted to get rid of Brandin.

Barring someone we love being there at #32 , #33 is actually a better pick . You have all night to work a trade for some team moving up .

And thats why i agree with the trade
Cooks wasn't going to get us over this slumo. Drew time is running shorter and its time to throw the chips down. Cooks was an expendable assest. The front office took the best offer available and will try to improve the defense. The move up from 4th round to end of the 3rd is a bonus and could be the difference in a player we want.

The offense has lost 1100 yards.
With an improved defense take some yards off. You can easily see Thomas and hopefully Fleener covering a third to half them yards and Ginn can easily be a 4-700 yard receiver.

A new slot receiver/3rd down back will cover the holes too. This isnt loosing a Graham/Colston type thats also a massive red zone threat.


Changes needed made
