Yeah....we'll probably give them back the 32nd pick and the 3rd round pick we got for Cooks and trade them for Butler. LOL!!

In all seriousness...I'm glad we got a trade, but I was hoping for something more then the 32nd pick. Then we gave them a 4th rounder? IDK about that. Whatever tho. I hope we land some good talent and playmakers in the draft.

ok the 18th nor the 14th pick were never really offered straight up. Extra baggage had to be attacked.

Saints get 32
swap a 4th (118) for a 3rd (103)
Trade value suggests there maybe more to the cooks trade than just picks. Rumors may carry more weight than we all thought. Oh well

Now Tenn and Phili are still in the market for CB and WR so deals on draft day are still possible. Cle has the same needs.

#11 O.J. Howard TE Alabama 6055 251 4.51 #88 Sr

# 32 Is another solid trade pick. If the browns and the niners pass on QB this is a prime spot to be sitting. Never know what other player drops into your laps.

Min has two thirds and questions at QB? 2nd (48) and 3rd (79) gets them right in the game to pull a trade. Additional comp would be heavy

#32 Christian McCaffrey RB/WR/KR Stanford 5115 205 4.48 Jr

yep I can not leave well enough alone.

Honestly they may be trying to get in a better spot to get?

Even though Cooks is a great player, He is not worth the contract he was going to command in the future. In the meantime the potential locker room disruptions could possibly be catastrophic. Hopefully the Defense will be improved as a result. With Brees approaching the end of his career, having money tied up in a skilled position player with no defense and possibly an below average QB would not be a good thing.

I was thinking the same but like selling your old car you want top dollar for it, you don't give it away

Yes, please!

Plenty of rumours of a seperate trade for Butler

He isnt worth a 1st imo.
His contract will ne huge and even if he walks youll only get a 3 in comp if you sign no big FA.

Could see Saints sending R2 to NE for Butler + 3rd

Any trade you do with the Pats your getting no vasalined. The pressure is on the F.O. to make the right pick. It still could turn out in our favor but the odds are not looking good.

Sean has officially proven how much he wants to get on his knees for his idol. The pats will not be negatively impacted by this trade. Cooks won't complain on a team that wins 12 games a year.

Idk about that, he complained after we won the game "close mouths don't get fed" AFTER THAT I WAS DONE WITH COOKS

a number 1 and 3rd which are really a 2nd and 4th. I still think it's a good deal. Picks 11, 32, 42, 76, 96, 196, 229 we are going to get a great defense this year. We could still get Butler too. Wow we are really putting together a great offseason = GREAT SEASON!
