Pats trade Brandin Cooks to Rams

[unionjack8]

Traded to rams for pick 23.

I guess that kills the Odel talk to the Rams.

 

[Corso]

So interesting. I'm fully intrigued to see how the Rams do this year and the next. Talk about being aggressively all-in...

I guess that means no OBJ. Is Cooks really that good though? This is the third (one draft, two trades) 1st round pick used on this guy. He seems more above average than superstar.

jerry jones and company should be taking notes on how the patriots wheel and deal.

I give both teams credit,,,Rams filling a need and the Patriots loading up on picks. Must be a nice feeling.

They spent a 1st on him last year and didn't get equal value out of him. Good on them for flipping him again but the original trade wasn't that bright.

Hard to believe they gave a 1st and 6th to New England for Cook and a 4th. Some crazy trades happening even before the draft.

Patriots change and adapt. They use to live and die by the draft. Then they switched it up. Dallas is just trying to catch up.

Dez and Beasley to the Pats for Gronk.

I know the Romo situation was different but it really sucks to have not been able to take advantage of replacing an elite QB with a rookie. We didn't manage to get a pick out of it or free up enough cap space to build around our young QB.

how does Brandin Cooks keep getting traded for 1st rounders? and we got Dez Bryant sitting there??

 

[Melonfeud]

SHEESE!,,,That N.F.C.W. is gonna be interesting to keep tabs on,L.A. is making a no bones about it PUSH ,in it's concerted effort of dominance through Superior acquisition of talent,,,Good luck with that admirable endeavor

Rookie contract I guess. But the guy is far from elite. I guess he's good enough to spend a 1st on but not good enough to build around. You don't see Julio Jones being traded from team to team.

 

[AKATheRake]

Dez and Beasley to the Pats for Gronk.

We wish.

3 TE sets with Gronk, Witten and Rico incorporated with our o-line, Zeke and mobile QB. Talk about a scary jumbo set that can go into passing mode whenever it decides.

 

[ThatJerryKid]

Patriots will trade both first round picks for OBJ. You can book it....,

 

[Hayseed]

Rams come out smelling like a rose. Cooks is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better than Watkins is or ever will be. So glad our idiot idea to sign Watkins fell through.

I thought brandin cooks died in the superbowl?

You kind of answered your own question.

Moves like this further increase Dez’s leverage.

800-1,000 yards receiving and a half dozen touchdowns is now worth first round picks and over 15 million a year.

So I guesd the Rams should be using their 3p draft visits on 3rd/4th round prospects...?
