Big Country Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 1 hour ago, LordOpie said: we have to wonder if NYG were offered Cooks and #31. If so, why would they turn that down while still having Eli on the roster? Lot of potentials - especially if something were to materialize for the 23 and 31, would certainly lead to some discussion about if they were offered Cooks and the 31 what was better for them. If they were offered that and rejected it, then it obviously means they value the first round pick more than Cooks. Could have to do with Cooks being in last year of his deal (if I read correctly) vs. getting an asset that would be on a rookie deal for 4 years, or presumable much easier to flip for other assets than Cooks.

Pretty sure just complete wishful thinking/speculation on the part of Pats homers, but have seen multiple places postulating that with this move, the Pats now have two first round picks (23 and 31) which just happens to be the starting point the Giants are looking for to deal OBJ. Crazier things have happened, but I'd think essentially turning Cooks and the #31 into OBJ would be a good move for the Pats. Giants move OBJ out of the conference and add two firsts to help the rebuild. They could then either use those picks, package them to move up in the draft, or ship one/both of them for additional assets. Exactly what I was about to post.

Brentastic Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 There is a 0% chance the Pats trade 2 firsts for a headache in OBJ. 0%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
