Agreed—at least on some level. They’re also doing a better job of trying to mask his issues in pass coverage than they were before.
At any rate, there have been plenty of second round misses and I’d see no reason to trade a first for Cooks, get him acclimated into the system where he produces nicely, and then trade him for a second round pick at a reasonable (for a WR) salary; particularly when they’d already be getting a 3rd round comp pick. There’s always the thought that it could be a money issue, I suppose, but he just teamed up to give Brady an MVP season.
I really like Cooks, and would hate to see him go. Especially considering that he developed a pretty strong chemistry with Brady, he’s young, & cheap (at least for this year), but for a dominant/highly effective pass rusher (hypothetical).....see ya!
