Brandon Cooks could be had for a 2nd rder

Sirius XM NFL's Alex Marvez reports it would "probably" only take a second-round pick to acquire Brandin Cooks from the Saints.

The Eagles hold the No. 42 overall pick in the draft in the second round, while the Titans don't currently own a second-rounder but do have the Rams' No. 69 overall pick atop the third round. It makes much more sense to deal one of those picks than either of their mid-first-rounders for Cooks, who will also be needing a massive contract extension next year at this time. There's too much smoke for there not to be fire here. Expect Cooks to be dealt in the coming 5-10 days.

NO says they will now take a second pick. A lot of people have us taking the Ross kid in the first round- why not give up our first for Cooks and maybe get a third back. Dude is only 23 and is only going to get better.

I think he is just what we need BUT he will want a new deal in 2 years, you extend him now to include the remaining 2 years or you give up a pick for a rental.
Also, why not just keep the 1st rounder and give them a 2nd? IF we were interested

Well our 2nd rounder is a late round pick. Both Tennessee and Philly, also interested, have higher 2nd round picks.

I like him but if they want a 2nd- offer a 2nd. I would actually offer a conditional 3rd-to 2nd.

A guy who cries about targets coming to a team with Dez, Beasley and Witten on a run first team?

Because Philly wants him and they have a better second than us.

Because he has 1 year left on his rookie contract and will want a huge contract extension next year. No thanks.

Is he better than Terrence Williams?

I'm expecting Cooks to be an Eagle (and thorn in our side) pretty soon. And I think it's a smarter play than the previous mentions of re-signing Desean Jackson.

This.

As old Mic would say, "If he's so good, then why is he available?" "We'll find out, won't we?"

Seriously?

Rumor up here is Tennessee might be the frontrunner. They have two first rounders and might be willing to part with the 2nd one. I don't think Philly has any intention of moving that 14th/15th pick.

I don't know. How good is he at catching passes at or near the line of scrimmage?

Could be. I have heard they're both after him. But Philly is still my own 'guess'. I think they prefer Cooks to re-signing Jackson and want to give Wentz a downfield threat.

Dont really know why. He doesnt throw downfield

Atleast that would be getting some production out of our 2nd round pick which we don't seem to do very often.

Yep posted in the "rosterzone" early this am....bring him in.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Not worth a 1st round pick.

 

[Daillest88]

Man this is a guy who would really take our offense to the next level. Play the safteys deep Ezekiel will have the best year ever lol. Play them close , cooks will burn those safteys and corners up
