Cooks traded to Rams for 23 overall pick

Well they can get a stud at linebacker at 23 if they want. We will see.

Wow that's great we got our first rounder back. Good ****. I'm just not confident about A. Drafting a guy that's not going to be a bust and B. Drafting the right guy and keeping him and not trading him away for absolutely NOTHING.

You assume too much. I think it was the right move.

Time for me to do my draft prospect research...not been paying attention to the top 15-20 guys....

The Pats' receiving corps right now is:

WR Edelman (stud)
WR Hogan (solid)
WR Mitchell (solid)*
WR Britt (solid)
WR Patterson (special teams really)
WR Dorsett (better than his numbers showed, but not as good as Cooks)
WR Hollister (JAG)
TE Gronk (all-world)
TE Allen (fine)
TE Hollister (potential)
RB White (stud receiver)
RB Burkhead (excellent receiver)

*if healthy

I don't think they're done with the WRs. But on the whole, that's an outstanding group of receivers. Not just wide receivers, but ALL players who catch the ball. I expect them to add another quality WR to this group.

But yes, like every team, it's dependent on health.

I don't think Britt has shown enough to be in the solid category. Otherwise I agree with the above.

You're crazy. He came up big at times for brady. He was a deep threat as well. Guy came in and was instant production. He stared picking it up. Have only one consistent deep threat. Dorsett's too inconsistent and can't run routes.

He was a empty threat.

Bill wouldn't of traded him if cooks could bring the goods.

His stats lie if you ask me and he never passed the eye test.

Sry duplicate post

Let’s ALSO remember that we’ve never won a SB with an elite receiving core.

Something to think about.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

That depends on Edelman's anterior cruciate ligament and Mitchell's knee.

People are blind to that. Also i was high on the Dorsett deal but the guy's a lost cause. He's not a good route runner. Maybe Britt has something left.

Just looked at the Jimmy Johnson draft value chart again to see what the Pats could get for the 32nd (590) and 23rd (760). It works out to 1350 points or the number 9 pick overall which is currently held by....wait for it...San Francisco.

You still need guys that can get in the endzone and we have edelman coming back from an ACL at his age. Now he will have to be the same guy and give us the same production.

Anybody watching the draft this year?

Just for the drama ......................................................

 

[Jlaff]

Did anyone else nearly freak out because they thought it said we only got a 4th for him? I sure did.

It was going to be a 4th until BB realized Cooks wasn't a probowl quality quarterback.

I kid.

 

[patsinthesnow]

That guy has been first on a lot of stuff before.

Another Cooks basher.

He traded him b/c he wasn't going to pay him $14m a year.

Three observations.

1. Rams are building an All Star team. They're in the hunt for every marquee name out there.

2. Hard to get excited about this trade. We'll either end up drafting a bust or a good player that will only end up getting traded couple years down the road for nothing.

3. BB is doing a good job of trolling Brady so far."Force me to trade my guy Jimmy? Ok ok, i'm going to crap on you in more ways than one."

What a load of nonsensical BS.

 

[Bruins29]

Yep, this is right in the nail head bro. This off season is so bad I can’t figure it. Why not just trade brady and gronk and Edelman too?

You like this garbage post? Says a lot about you...

 

[Wozzy]

I for one can't wait for the draft, we actually have a reason to watch on day one.

I doubt Rosen would be there at 23 unless they traded up. Maybe 23 and something else.

I gotta feeling bill will draft another safety in the second round. Hopefully it won't be another reach.

 

[Joey007]

Rosen... wow. But I can’t think we’d try and trade all they way up into the top 5.

Now if one of the top QB’s falls down to the later top 10.. could be a different story.
