Patriots trade Brandon Cooks to the LA Rams for their 2018 1st and 6th round picks

[Hoenheim]

Its kinda not panthers related but its the offseason? Now the Rams had the 23rd pick , we pick 24th, but now the Patriots have the 23rd pick and the 31st pick. I think it is related to us, because its likely the Patriots may draft someone else that the Rams might not have drafted at the slot right before ours and could greatly affect who we pick. 

 

What do you think about that trade? The Rams are continuing to go for broke signing all these free agents, are they trying to emulate the Eagles? They signed Marcus Peters, Aqub Talib,  N.Suh , and now Brandon Cooks. But I guess they did lose Sammy Watkins.

dont get concussed in the super bowl bitch

Rams have a lot of egos on their team. Curious to see if they make it deep in the playoffs or crash and burn.

Good trade for the Pats. I think Cooks is a good receiver, but getting a 1st and a 6th for him is good. I think the Pats go LT with that 1st round pick.

What a bad, short-sighted trade.  I guess if they win a Super Bowl it won't matter, but that is a lot of egos in 1 locker-room.  Especially since they weren't on the team last year.  Plus, Cooks is on the last year of his deal and considering he will be the top 2019 FA WR (Beckham ain't hitting the market), there is no way they will be able to re-sign him.

Have a feeling Pats will trade both of their 1st round picks for Odell

And Jared Goff and Sean McVay dont seem to have a super commanding personality to manage all these alpha dogs .. they'll have to hope they are well behaved I suppose

Odell Beckham - WR - Giants

CBS' Jason La Canfora reports the Patriots' trade of Brandin Cooks to the Rams is "not a precursor to an attempt" to acquire Odell Beckham.

The Patriots now own the No. 23 and 31 picks, leading many to connect the dots on Twitter. The Patriots still have a solid stable of weapons, but many injury question marks. Beckham would be a dream addition for Tom Brady and Bill Belichick's offense, but the most likely outcome remains him staying in New York.

Patriots have the 23rd pick, 31st pick, 43rd pick, 63rd pick , and 95th pick... didnt realize that had so much draft capital. Could easily move up for someone.

Wow the Rams are stupid. With 1 year $8M left on his deal I wouldn't have given up more than a 3rd. Cooks really isn't very good.

Rams, it’s not franchise mode on Madden

[MrBubba]

Lamar Jackson newest Pat.

[Doyle]

This guy has cost a lot of draft picks.  He is up there with Ricky Williams at this point.

So the Pats got a year out of cooks and netted 8 spots in the 1st round + a 6th rounder after trading for Cooks last season. I wish the Panthers could fleece teams left and right like the Pats do...

Rams are all in on this win now mode. If (and that’s a huge if) they start to gel they are going to be tough to beat...
