This is about the final run and beefing up, not rebuilding. A QB in the second or later? I can buy it, but they aren’t competitors for our guy, whichever one of the four it is. This makes 0 sense logically and grammatically.

Cooks/Sammy were just rentals. Nope, they made this deal with the intent of signing him to a contract. He'll only get more expensive. It is in their best interest to sign him now. Sammy was a big time bust. They took it on the chin, moved on and are reinvesting into a better player at a position of need.

They are loading up for another run with Tom. They will take Lauletta in the 2nd How is trading away their best WR for a draft pick loading up for now? 1 minute ago, TheElectricCompany said: Nope, they made this deal with the intent of signing him to a contract.

Idk the details on any contract but this is the Brooklyn Nets trading all their picks but in the NFL. The Rams will be good though.

And they can afford them, the ones they deem important. They also have Goff for another 2 years after 2019 before he's due a big payday, so guys they sign next year could eat up a lot of their 2019/2020 salary cap. Then they'll have space for Goff, if he carries on improving. 1

They have a bad OL and Cooks wasn’t a good fit. He runs deep routes and tom needs to get the ball out quickly. They have holes that they need to fill in the draft because they are in bad shape cap wise. They need to build that team around him with young talent because last year they got caught with lack of depth and tried to fill in with vets, didn’t always work. They always have a chance to win the SB with Brady but Cooks isn’t the key there. 1

If you're giving up a 1st rounder, it should be for a very proven and young asset that can help you long term. You should expect to pay them market value. They wanted it in Sammy and had to give up a late 2nd rounder, but it didn't work out. They'll keep swinging.

Success Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 Good trade for both teams. Cooks is great, but Brady isn’t a deep ball guy these days. I’m not that concerned about the Pats having more draft capital. BB the coach covers the flaws of BB the GM. If Beane is sold on a guy, he won’t be outmaneuvered by a team that has less to offer
PromoTheRobot Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 Don't you love how the Pats are "all set" to move up to #2 but the Bills, who have 2 or 3 times the draft capital to make a trade, will have a hard time?

If its the final run and NOT rebuilding, why did they let all their talent leave in FA? Why did they trade their best WR for an un-established draft pick/rookie? Please help me see the light

The Giants certainly don't get along with the Pats** and I'm sure the Broncos don't either.

HappyDays Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 29 minutes ago, Wayne Cubed said: Were they going to get a receiver at #23 with Cooks ability? Probably not They shouldn't be using a 1st round pick on a receiver in the first place. They have Woods and Kupp, and Gurley is a very capable pass catcher. Plus the whole point of using draft picks in the draft is you get a good player on a rookie deal. That's how you build a team for long term success. They're locked into a 2 year window after which some of their core players will leave in free agency and they won't have any depth to replace them with. 1
BrooklynBills Posted April 4, 2018 Posted April 4, 2018 Pats are not taking a 1st round QB. IMO they want to come away with a CB, pass catcher, and T.

They needed a WR to fill the Watkins role ( some Bills fans will be loathe to admit it) and the WRs you mentioned don't have that skill set. McVay knows this, but SW was going to be too expensive for their " load up for a SB run" plan. Hence the early interest in OBJ trade as well, but 2 firsts is pretty steep. They weren't getting a WR that could take the top off the defense with 23 in this draft. Cooks is a sensible replacement. The Rams are selling out at all costs to win a SB. Definitely not thinking more than a year or two ahead. 1
