Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
If we accept that the only player on our roster that's attractive enough for another team to give up a first and third round draft pick is Chris Cooley, would you trade him?
Assuming that we could use both first round picks for offensive linemen, along with regaining the third round pick we lost for Jarmon, I would probably be in favor of it. Doesn't mean I don't like Chris Cooley -- he is a world class tight end, no doubt. But if there isn't a quarterback who could be kept upright long enough to find him, what good is he? I think we could all agree that O-line should be the priority. If this was the only way we could stockpile extra draft picks to rebuild the line, would you jump? What if this could be our 'Hershel Walker' trade? |

Being that we're 6 pages deep I think you've been overruled by the majority.

You really should spend some more time on this funny farm. p.s. Only 3 pages for me and if you read the posts, most of the replies range from "NO WAY" to "retarded".

Why would anyone think we would make a wise use of the 1st and 3rd round picks? So we'd give up Cooley for a Kelly/Rinehardt-type decision?

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
Look man, it's a completely hypothetical situation, and it of course it won't happen. I was just interested in how people would react if faced with the choice of trading your best player for high draft picks to rebuild the team. Just like the Cowboys did with Hershel Walker.
There have been several thoughtful, persuasive arguments for and against such an idea. There have also been some responses of the kindergarten level, and some, such as yours, which are simply indicative of those with low intelligence. With any internet message board, I've come to expect that. In any case, thanks (-- I guess --) for your contribution. |

If trading Chris Cooley means we'll have two picks to use to get Trent Williams, then I say do it.
We'll already have another number one for another bad ass tackle. That's 1/4 of our problems solved.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
In this scenario we would have 2 #1 picks, 1 #2 pick, and 2 #3 picks. We could turn these five picks into:
1 new qb 1 new halfback 2 new tackles 1 new guard or center It seems pretty enticing to me.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
It is. We've seen some of the elite teams trade away or let go some of their more popular players when it's in the best interest of their long term success. Moves that come to mind are Joey Porter in Pittsburgh and a bunch of guys for the Pats (Seymour this year). Can't let personal feelings get in the way of sound business moves. The team comes first. If we could get a 1 and 3 for Cooley, I'd say do it. Not sure we could though, and not all that confident the FO would make good with the picks. Tough call.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
Its absolutely a legit question. I would do it for sure. Davis is a least equal to Cooley, I would say a little better, definitely with more upside.
I don't see him getting a 1st and a 3rd....maybe a 2nd. I'd still do it. |
