Brandin Cooks Officially Traded to Patriots

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; No need for McCafferty...we traded Cooks to get better on defense and with the 1st Rd picks that's what we should do. Those 1st Rd picks need to be every down players....not occasional....

It's a BIG mistake. Don't we play the Pats this year? Cooks will be motivated.

Trading up to draft a 5'10" WR at #20 in the deepest WR draft in history was the mistake. Not fixing the defense was the mistake.

Fix the defense, then we'll be making a deep run in the playoffs without Cooks.

Yes, and WR Landry was there in the 2nd and safer than developmental CB SJB.

Still believe this was the highest draft picked offered. No first rounders just odd ball packages of players and lower picks. Sorry but the media once again miss lead us. In the end the pats probably were the highest bidder.

I want us to keep all of our picks, I don't want us to package to move up. Maybe even gain some more moving back.

Me too - I want to see us stand pat and draft some people, but that's because I'm not well-versed enough to know whether anybody is so good we should maneuver to get him. We have options tho, so I'm excited I guess, either way.
