Bill obrien strikes again ! 

Post#1 » by Pharmcat » Thu Apr 9, 2020 11:25 pm

Texans acquire WR Brandin Cooks and a 2022 fourth-round pick from the Rams for the 57th pick in this month's draft.



Why would Texans make this trade when this draft is stacked with wr ?

Are they after trading Hopkins?

Are they what ?

I don't see why you would give up a 2nd for a wr when draft experts are saying this is one of the deepest wr ever

Read on Twitter



Cooks is cooked. Way too many hits to the head lately. Once again, I don't get it.

Do I even need to post the befuddled Ass Chin picture?
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

I guess I read that wrong. I was thinking you wrote "they" are stacked with wr.

Hard to believe Houston wasn't going to find WR value at either 40 or 57.

You guys are going to end up losing Watson if you keep this up. Wow. Actually, if I was him, I would want out right now.

Put him in the same category as Daniel Snyder.

Watson likely won't be impressed by a rookie wide receiver. A proven one looks best but Cook probably doesn't have much left in the tank.

Wilson was impressed by Metcalf last year . Plenty of wr this year to choose from in this draft

Please, don't entice the man ffs! He's bent over for 3/4 teams in the NFC West since the start of last year. The Last thing we need is Bob handing him over to the Niners for a ham sandwich. :nonono:

Yeah, this year along with the last draft is very deep at Receiver. This trade makes very little sense long-term for Houston.

Trust me, I understand when it comes to the draft!
Houston seems to believe going with a vet is best but I don't think the money they're going to pay him is a wise decision.

Rotoworld.com

Over The Cap estimates the $21.8 million in dead money the Rams are eating in the Brandin Cooks trade is a new record. 

Todd Gurley's cap charge also exceeded $20 million following his release, leaving behind two staggering phantom numbers on the Rams' books. Profootballtalk estimates the Rams paid Cooks $40.4 million over the past two years. It was a flatly awful investment for Los Angeles. Staggered by a spate of concussions, Cooks had a career-worst 2019, but teaming up with Deshaun Watson in Houston could have him quickly back on the up and up.
