Makes me wonder about Brandon Cooks. Why would he be traded two years in a row?
Heard that report was an April Fool’s joke today. Not sure of veracity of that tho.
Did the Rams have a 1st round pick in this year's draft?
To some degree. The guys he's had over the years have been pretty good elsewhere, just not used to their max, like Welker and Moss. Edelman and Amendola, Deion Branch even.Brady makes WRs
Brandin Cooks: talented without question
but how many really talented players end up on three teams in their first five years?
makes you wonder whats up
I do wonder if this trade happened with the condition that he's going to sign a contract. It's hard for them to lose so much and then lose this again.I think you guys are reading too much into it the patriots don’t want to give him the contract he’s going to command.... I’m hoping this turns out just like Sammy Watkins they give up a first and then lose him after the one-year rental

After Brandin Cooks trade, #Patriots will hold five picks in first three rounds of 2018 NFL Draft:
Rd 1, 23rd overall (via #Rams)
Rd 1, 31st overall
Rd 2, 43rd overall (via #49ers)
Rd 2, 63rd overall
Rd 3, 95th overall
I'm calling it right now - they will draft lauletta at 31

why would they do that when they know, hell...everyone knows... they could get him with #63 with zero risk of him being gone by then?I'm calling it right now - they will draft lauletta at 31

This is what all-in looks like.
The Rams’ first 5 slotted picks for 2018 ...
Round 1: To NE (Brandin Cooks)
Round 2: To Buf (Sammy Watkins)
Round 3: 87th pick (now their highest pick)
Round 4: To KC (Marcus Peters)
Round 5: To Den (Aqib Talib)
That's why it's called the Not For Long league. They're obviously in win-now mode, and can't blame em with Goff and Gurley still on rookie contracts.This is where we'll see if the trades we've talked about in other threads end up crippling them. None of this talent is going to come cheap, and the bill is going to come due soon.
Wouldn't surprise me if the Pats make Lauletta a 1st round pick with this move - or Jackson/Rudolph.
But, I honestly don't see the point of them making this trade. Brady's running really thin on weapons now.
its going to be interesting to watch. The Rams and the Chargers are still just dead bodies in Los Angeles...this should generate some buzz for the Rams, and if they can turn it into a serious super bowl run they will win the LA fan sweepstakes.This is where we'll see if the trades we've talked about in other threads end up crippling them.

They are still light years ahead of our Cards even if they poopoo that #1 away! Hell our #1s are usually flops anyhow these days along with most 2nd!!! Teams cant compete for SBs let alone playoffs doing that regularly like the Cards.. I’m hoping this turns out just like Sammy Watkins they give up a first and then lose him after the one-year rental
Cards interest in Luletta is toast.CollegeFootball 24/7
