Im not arguing that  fact I’m just prefacing that there will be value in taking a RB late in the draft versus other positions and I could see Beane adding a guy if he’s at the top of the board. These guys look beyond just next season when drafting. Johnson may have gotten two years but it might only be a 1 year deal for all we know 

Yes …there might be value in a strong class getting a guy say in the 6th that might be a 4th in most years   …but they only put 3 on the team …so if the guy shows anything its going to be hard to keep him on the PS if there are no injuries..

100%.  That is why I have no problem packaging Cook and 30 to say Dallas at 12.

The thing I do like about trading Cook is whoever trades for him would likely give him a nice new fat contract as part of the deal. A trade gets us something in return as well as some say so over where he ends up (someplace like Dallas over someplace like KC or NE perhaps) and we avoid losing a good weapon to a rival real ala Barkley to the Eagles

Thanks for the find and post.  I linked this in the FA thread for you.

PSA: X/Twitter had a planned shutdown for a few hours yesterday. Now, if you want to post a link, only the link address will show when you copy & paste. Surprise Surprize! For $11/mo you can have this option restored.. 🤦‍♂️ So be on our best behavior and only link X videos you believe everyone would like to see.

Perfect.  Was thinking someone might offer him 3-4 after seeing Perines contract.

Glad we re-signed the best third down back in the NFL.  My favorite free agent signing … to date (softens the blow of losing Mack). 

[MarlinTheMagician]

Signing Ty is great news.  Hope he got paid a bit.

It gives Beane a better shot odds wise to get a top Defensive talent

Cook and 30 isn’t nearly enough.  Imo

[MikePJ76]

Perfect.

 

They are all set for the draft.

good value for a valuable asset

there is a contract for Ty Johnson written. It's sitting on the desk. He can choose it or he can walk. Don't be surprised if he signs it.

Not even close.

 

Cook's value isn't what most fans think it is. Running Backs take a hit when it comes to trade value. Guys on the last year of their deal take a hit when it comes to trade value. Guys who want a massive new contract take a hit on trade value.

 

He's probably worth a 4th. A 3rd if we're *really* lucky.

there must be incentives too, otherwise this is way too low.

Correct. That don't even get you half way there. Cook maybe gets you up 5, maaaaybe 7 spots.

I agree that it's not enough, but in this case Cook is not being traded for a pick. He's being traded along with a first to sweeten an offer to move up in the draft. The Bills would be trading Cook AND 30 for 12. But I agree that won't get you 12. It could get a pick in the 20's, but teams that need a RB would have to weigh paying the proven Cook over drafting the cost-controlled Hampton. I think Denver at 20 would be a good spot to look. That places Cook's value at a high 3rd, according to the draft value chart. But Dallas might also take 30, 56, and Cook for 12.

Absolutely not. We have a minimum of four positions on defense that need upgrades, and maybe another WR. There is no way we hit the first 4 or 5 picks outta the park.
