I wonder:
You bring him in for last cheap year. If he doesn't become a Patriot you trade him like CJ and get similar value back or possible high comp pick if you don't take the option..
EDIT: Never mind. I read mid-round pick. Carry on...
With this info on Cook, and the rumor a couple of weeks ago that the Pats might be in play for Desean Jackson, seems like Bb wants speed at WR?
Is John Ross in play for us? Should we (as fans) be looking at more WR's this draft/FA?
After yesterday, I doubt it. The only thing that might drop him is medicals. He has had some issues in the post and is due a shoulder operation.
Not even saying I want Ross at 32, but when you hear us willing to trade a first for Cooks and interest on Jackson, I mean looks like BB wants speed right?
Get the feeling this is gonna be a draft that leans toward the skill positions on offense....
I'm just praying we target a matchup nightmare like Mccaffrey or Engram!!!
Good takes, guys.
I don't think its just about speed. Its about the future #1-2 receiver IMO and safest chain mover in this offence.
Danny is probably in his last season and he is already back-up option. Julian will be 32 next season when his contract is up. Mitchell's style of play hints on solid #2-3 WR option.
Last but not least: I know how we all love this draft class but the reality is that any young player that proved himself in NFL as consistent playmaker (and Miguel noted well that Cooks is actually younger than Mitchell) - and has two more relatively cheap years on the contract - is worth more than any prospect, at least in my mind.
If reports about the offer (1st rounder for Cooks+lower rounder) are true that could say: 1) BB too believes this draft is deep and that he can find a good prospect in lower rounds; 2) He is willing to give up high position of the pick but he is not willing to lose a pick.
I posted the twitter link in the Cooks thread in the main forum that said that the Pats are still negotiating with NO for Brandin Cooks.
It doesnt surpise me that the pats are looking into cooks. Hes a guy that can really change our offense, but does anyone else get the feeling that BB is helping out payton to force Tennessee or philly into trading for him? Maybe im looking to much into it though.
Interesting.. only a 5th rounder.
