Hilton (16.9) and Los Angeles Chargers receivers Tyrell Williams (16.9) and Travis Benjamin (16.7).<\/p>\n<p>Cooks also led the team by a huge margin in plays of 30-yards or more, catching 11 receptions of 30+ including 4 of 40+ and 3 of 50+, which accounted for 476 of Cooks&#8217; yardage total.\u00a0 \u00a0To put that in perspective, Gronkowski had 17 catches of 20+ yards last season, but just 4 of 30+.<\/p>\n<p>Cooks actually made 5 of the 10 longest plays of the season for the Patriots, holding the top two spots on the team with plays of 64-yards (a TD in Week 11 against the Raiders) and 54-yards (in week\u00a0one in their loss against the Chiefs).<\/p>\n<p>But one glaring number for Cooks that was mentioned quite a few times in this space was the fact that he&#8217;s never been able to be a consistent player, and his third-down totals last season were pretty staggering.\u00a0 Brady completed just 7 of 26 targets to Cooks on third down, and the fact that many of those attempts came up empty in short-yardage situations sticks out like a sore thumb.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Brandin Cooks 3rd Down Totals 2017:<br \/>7-of-26 157yds 3TDs<\/p>\n<p>By Down &amp;

PatsFans.com (@PatsFans) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PatsFans\/status\/981521383522959362?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 4, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>One number that stands out is the fact that in situations when the Patriots needed 5 yards or less, Brady was just 3-of-12 targeting him.\u00a0 That probably explains why Brady only targeted him twice on third down during the entire postseason.\u00a0 Overall, despite his high yardage totals, the two still had trouble connecting as Brady completed just 56% of his attempts when targeting cooks (75-of-133) &#8211; the lowest percentage of any receiver with 30 or more targets.<\/p>\n<p>There were also plenty of occasions where Brady simply heaved the ball up to Cooks hoping he&#8217;d come down with it, and as we mentioned above, there were times where it did.\u00a0 Other times he drew a pass interference penalty, but it seems like that topic came up in conversation this offseason and it would be surprising to see that luck carry over into another season.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Belichick may have felt that they had a player in Chris Hogan who possesses a similar skillset in their offense in terms of a downfield threat, with Hogan also having the versatility in terms of being a possession receiver.\u00a0 He was injured much of last season, but in 2016 he was productive on third down with Brady connecting with him on 10-of-15 with 8 first downs.\u00a0 When you factor in Hogan, the return of Julian Edelman, Kenny Britt, and Malcolm Mitchell, it&#8217;s still a pretty good group.\u00a0 Moving Cooks may also signal that Mitchell&#8217;s outlook is looking positive, which should be something that could fly under the radar if he&#8217;s able to be anywhere near the player he was as a rookie.\u00a0 \u00a0However, in their current state, there&#8217;s not much margin for error should anyone suffer an injury, which would make you believe that another addition may still be coming.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, Cooks sort of felt like a square peg that they tried to fit into a round hole but still somehow managed to squeeze out 1000+ yards doing it.\u00a0 Now they&#8217;ve gotten back a first-round pick after sending both Cooks and a fourth-round selection to Los Angeles for the Rams&#8217; 23rd overall pick and a sixth-round selection.\u00a0 The trade definitely changes things, and the Patriots outlook suddenly just became a little brighter now that they have an opportunity to grab a couple of impact players in the upcoming draft.<\/p>\n<p>The economics of the move also make sense, as the Patriots are able to acquire an asset in exchange for a player they likely wouldn&#8217;t have been able to re-sign given how high the market skyrocketed for receivers this offseason.\u00a0 Bill Belichick is well-known for moving guys who fall into this category, and after evaluating Cooks&#8217; body of work in their offense, clearly\u00a0he felt the offer from the Rams made sense.<\/p>\n<p>Every offseason is never dull and this one has certainly kept that trend going.\u00a0 \u00a0Given what we know, the odds are pretty good that the excitement may not yet be over, which should definitely make these final months of the offseason pretty interesting.<\/p>\n<p><TABLE WIDTH=100% CELLPADDING=10 CELLSPACING=0 BORDER=0 ><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<IMG SRC=\"https:\/\/www.patsfans.com\/images\/us-presswire\/600w\/2017-Week-15-Rob-Gronkowski-DMWXc-600w.jpg\" WIDTH=100%><br \/><font size=-2><strong>The trade of Cooks should signal that Gronk isn&#8217;t going anywhere.

is as important as his wallet and phone, but sometimes it&#8217;s a hazard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem with the pencil is, I\u2019m Italian so I like to hug,\u201d Patricia said. \u201cYou gotta be
