Basically we got a second round pick for the 7th most receiving yards in the league last year. Even more impressive is he did that with MT being 9th.

One year he has had good TD numbers
He was the 5th option in the red zone for the saints behind Graham,Hill, Colston, Watson.

Drew has shown year after year he can make players better

If Cooks was as great as some people want to say why were teams not knocking down the door offering a mid round first or late 1 and 4th.

Because the titans have a promising qb, a promising RB, a elite tight end, a wide receiver they drafted last year that's a mini Cooks. They didn't NEED Cooks. They're a team on the move to playoff status.

A malcontent is a malcontent. Cooks bugged the crap out of me when he complained about not being more involved after the team won games.

After some consideration, I like this trade. No big contract for the soon to be 5'9" second fiddle and five picks in the first three rounds in this year's draft.

And the eagles signed AJ, a better receiver than Cooks but it's close.

Here's what I think is strange. It seems like the Pats have too many receivers now, as far as I know. Hogan, Amendola, Edelman, Cooks, Malcolm Mitchell, not to mention Gronk, Lewis, White. Couldn't have we gotten Amendola in return? He's a skilled pro.

Not seeing this. I can foresee less than 1000 yards, more complaining, and in Buffalo at this time next year.
