Must be something "less than meets the eye" with Cooks.

In 2014, the Saints gave up their 1st (#27) and 3rd (#91) to move up just seven spots (to #20) to draft him.
In 2017, the Saints gave Cooks and their 4th (#118) to NE for the Patriot's 1st (#32) and 3rd (#103).
NE picked up Cooks' fifth year option after trading for him.
Now NE has reportedly given him and their 4th (#136) to the Rams for their 1st (#23)and 6th (#198).

Three teams stepped up to get him, but two of the teams have been willing to part with him after getting him.

Cooks was not a Brady Fave

Cooks wants big $$$$$$$ and he wasn't going to get it from Hoody Genius

So they got value and may draft the top WR with that pick.

[QBME]

To Hell with Belichick-ism.

The FA freaks on here need our GM to take up Ram-ism.

They needed corners, they went and got Marcus Peters and Aquib Talib.

Suh to shore up their DLine.

Now to get a top flight WR, they traded their 1 for Brandin Cooks from the Patriots.

There's your all in team for this off season.

Lesee if it flies.

Their top pick is now in the third round.

Yup....Rams are going all-in for this season. Low cost/high performing youngsters that are going to cost a boat load in the next couple of years, balanced by high(er) priced mercenaries in the short term.

You know who is really getting screwed by the Ram's moves? I'll bet my bottom dollar the Chargers are wringing hands and chanting "Oh woe is us, WTF were we thinking?" (Besides the $$$'s.)

[KYPack]

Last time I remember a team winning the off-season championship this convincingly was when Washington went out and got Haynesworth

Yup. A few years later Tampa did a similar move and flopped badly. It's really a question of integrating all those new guys into new personnel groups. That's a big job. The likelihood that all these guys blend smoothly is pretty remote.

How about Fat Eddie?

Rand said “angry” not “hungry” or “goofy”.

I always read Ky’s posts in John Facendas voice.

If you can do that, I know where you can make some real money.

[gbgary]

Did he visit there?

yes

[KYPack]

So does Tank.

Because Facenda is dead.

#LARams Release CB Kayvon Webster

[Fritz]

Who the hell is Kayvon Webster? My gosh, I'm getting old. I can't keep up with all these players any more. Is he as good as Herb Waters?

" Big evaluation week for the #Browns: Their local pro day is today, which will likely feature all the #OSU top prospects among others. On Thursday, #Wyoming QB Josh Allen visits, and #Louisville QB Lamar Jackson is scheduled for a visit Friday. "

It looks to me like Teh Browns will Pick at QB for their NO. 1 Pick as they should.

We're doing our Packerrats Mock Draft right now; and have covered the Browns NO. 1 and 4 Picks in 'Brown Dreamworld Fashion'.

Here it is:

Picks

1 Cleveland Browns -- Sam Darnold, QB, USC
2 New York Giants -- Bradley Chubb, DE, NC State
3 New York Jets -- Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma
4 Cleveland Browns -- Saquon Barkley, RB, Penn State
5 Denver Broncos -- denverYooper
6 Indianapolis Colts -- Justin Harrell
7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- Cheesehead Craig
8 Chicago Bears -- Harvey's Wallbangers
9 San Francisco 49ers -- yetisnowman

Someone wrote that Thomas Davis is having a bit of an identity crisis. Someone is impersonating him, apparently:

Aaron Nagler @AaronNagler
The headhunting hit on @tae15adams was "out of character." This, after the hit on Russell Shepherd in Tampa was "out of character." I'm now told the mistake referenced below is "out of character." How many "out of character" episodes until it's just...your character?


Doesn't the fact that Davis is suspended mean this is not his first positive result?

This could be the perfect fit.

The #Browns and WR Jarvis Landry are going to agree to terms on a 5-year, $75.5M extension, sources say. He gets $47M guaranteed… crazy for those who considered him a slot receiver.

I am sure this will not come back to bite them.
