Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?

Cooley is a good player that us Redskins fans tend to vastly overrate since we don't have many good players. I would love to trade Cooley for a draft pick. IMO we think Cooley is so valuable to us winning because for most of Cooleys time here we have had weak QB's that have leaned on the safe passes to the TE since they can't get the ball down the field to the WR's.

Thanks...that pretty much confirms what I said.

we couldnt get a 1st and a 3rd for him...shockey went for a 2nd

edit: and gonzolez went for a 2nd and a 6th

Shockey has always been overrated no where near as good as Cooley an gonzonlez is getting up there in age.

I would trade Cooley for a 1st and 3rd, and I wouldn’t release Albert Haynesworth. I’d acknowledge my mistake and learn from it. After giving him $41,000,000 I own his fat ass. Right now the team needs to turn chicken shit into chicken salad, and it can be done. Albert is a fat turd of a human being, but human nonetheless. Somewhere beneath the stupidity is a pro bowler. Maybe there’s someone within the Redskin’s organization that can help Albert turn his life around.

cooley for a 1st and 3rd ... wtf is the point of this thread ... why don't we just say let's trade Malcome Kelly for 2 1st rounders .. i mean what is the point of this conversation .. BEST case you get a 3rd for Cooley .. more likely a 4th and for that I say no way .. BUILD the team around Cooley & Davis ... 2 TE's are crucial in this pass first NFL ... while we are at it, bring back Moss for a reasonable $$ .... Carter,Dockery,Portis are not Chris Cooley

I would not trade him for a first.
I would not trade him for a fourth.
I would not trade him here or there
I would not trade him anywhere.
We shall not trade him this year.
But if he gets hurt he is out of here.

But would u trade him for Polamalu's hair or a pair
lets say Barber, Tiki and Rondea
Would you trade him for Gates, Bill that is?
How a bout Bates? Bill, no! Old Cowboys are even queer
then never fear Bruce Allen will stear us clear

Excellent! Post of the Month!

love cooley, if it wasn't for his personality it wouldn't matter though

fumbles, drops, not used well, etc... there's no point in having 2 underutilized TEs

we can get more for Cooley than Davis and Davis will be better down the line most likely, especially since he's younger

I don't want to see Cooley go but it makes sense if we can get good compensation

This is a silly thread...why?
It is not realistic.
Cooley might be worth a 2nd...thats about it...so if thats the reality you have to ask, are you likely to get a guaranteed highly productive starter with this pick?...the answer is no...so you don't do it.

Are you likely to get a guaranteed starter with a first and a 3rd?....for any other team besides the redskins...that is a yes...so you do it.....but no one, no where, would trade a first and third for cooley....he is not a pro bowl qb for heavens sake....he's a TE!

A better question might be, what offer would you accept to trade Cooley in terms of draft picks.....I say a 2nd and a 4th....thats a potential starter and a potential backup and you still have Fred Davis at the TE spot.
