[RuthlessBurgher]

Pats Gave Up-----------------Pats Gained
1st Round (2017)--------------1st Round (201
3rd Round (2017)--------------4th round (2017)
--------------------------------------6th Round (201
-------------------------------------1 Year of Brandon Cooks

New England also gave up a 4th round pick this year to the Rams as well in this most recent trade.

So actually,

New England gave up:
2017 round 1
2017 round 3
2018 round 4

New England got back:
2018 round 1
2017 round 4
2018 round 6

for 1 year of Brandin Cooks.

Thanks for catching that!

It doesn't look as good as I thought when you tally up the actual info.

not impressed

seems to me they got a year of brandon cooks basically for free and got 1000 yards out of him and then cut him loose without paying him big money

seems like a smart play to me

helped get them to a SB and may have won it if he doesn't get a concussion early in the game.

Yep. I heard a lot of the "talking heads" talking about how dumb it was for Belichick to trade Cooks already, but you laid it out as the "smart move" it was -- *s got his services for a year for low $$$$, and now, actually get a higher draft pick than the one they traded away to acquire him in the first place!

well, they still have to replace his production.

At WR, they have Julian Edelman, Malcolm Mitchell, Chris Hogan, Kenny Britt, Philip Dorsett and Cordarelle Patterson. They might choose to add a speedster in the draft. Sounds as though Gronk is coming back at TE.

That group of receivers, with Brady throwing them the ball? I don't think they'll have much trouble replacing Cooks' production.

I forgot about Britt.

Can he stretch the field?

I loved Patterson at UT but dude is a terrible route runner

[Eddie Spaghetti]

they just signed jordan Matthews

I'm pretty sure they will survive without cooks

I may be in a minority but I think that Chris Hogan can be a top 15 wide receiver in this league if he’s the #1 wide receiver for the pats.
