It is a steep price and there's always the worry if receivers can pick up this offense. But good god, is he fast. Looks like he's flying out there. What's his 40 time?
Saints make a deal with Butler and pats get first pick back.
Cooks basicly has the the same system in NO that NE has, I dont expect the trasition to be that hard. Id be more worried about him getting used to the weather lol. Hes a machine, and truthfully I think hes better than julio jones falcons. He has a very good RB ability after the ball and doesnt play around, his head goes strait up field if you watch him and he runs for his life. Not like you see showboaters do. Look on youtube, youll see what I mean.
Im glad he found the best home. He's going to be a favorite in NE. Good Kid.
Only Hightower to go. Then developmental DEs and OLs in the draft.Just on page one with 7 pages to go. Initially I think we paid too much for someone who isn't a true #1 WR and likely a one year rental in a year we need defensive rookies.
That being said I am SOOOOOOOOO relieved Malcolm Butler isn't part of this deal, I almost don't care about the lost picks, though I probably will by the time I get caught up with this thread.
Recap of Patriots' 2017 draft picks after this trade:
1st round, #32 - traded away to New Orleans (Brandin Cooks)
2nd round, #64 traded away to Panthers (Kona Ealy)
3rd round, #72 - from Panthers (Ealy)
3rd round, #96
3rd round, #103 - from Browns (Jamie Collins)
4th round, #118 - from Saints(Cooks), stolen away by Goodell
4th round, #131 - from 2016 trade with Seahawks
4th round, #137
5th round, #163 - from Broncos (AJ Derby)
5th round, #175 - traded to Browns (Barkevious Mingo)
5th round, #183 - compensatory pick
6th round, #215 - traded away to Lions (Kyle Van Noy)
7th round, #239 - from Lions (Van Noy trade)
7th round, #250 - traded away to Lions (Michael Williams)
In my opinion this gives the Patriots a bit of extra incentive to trade Garoppolo - though it may not happen until Day One of the draft.
I believe that is spelled "unpresidented"For BB to give up a 1st and a 3rd for a WR is unprecedented
That's a key signing for them, don't kid yourself. They'll be doing a lot of punting next season.Damn!
Not sure my heart could take thatWhen Pats get #1 and #12
Miles Garrett... DE
OJ Howard... TE
