Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
Looking back, perhaps I should have adjusted the thread title to say "Would you trade Chris Cooley for draft picks" -- but I figured with Cooley being the fan favorite that he is, the price would have to be high or there'd be some irate people on this thread. Judging from the first few replies, even a 1st and a 3rd wasn't enough.
Really I just wanted to find out what people thought about exchanging their favorite player for more draft picks to address other areas of need. With Fred Davis looking like he's the real deal, people seem to be more receptive to the idea than they were before. And yes, a 1st and a 3rd would be highly unlikely. I'd still do it for a 2nd and a 5th though. |

I was also thinking if we go to a 3-4, Andre Carter would have little use to us. I wonder what another team would give for him.

I'd imagine that because of the (probably untrue) perception that he simply benefited from Haynesworth this year, he'd be best kept as a nickel pass rusher in a base 3-4 than traded for like a fourth round pick or something. On top of that, I think you could put carter at DE in the 3-4 and he'd do just fine. He'd get beat up over the course of a season down inside, but I think he'd be a decent fit there. OLB in the 3-4, he's pretty useless.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
When watching the NY-CIN game, I noticed that CIN really didin't have a TE for a weapon. Could this be a team that could benefit from a Cooley type player? I think they are sound defensively, so maybe they would be down to give up a pick or 2 for Cooley, they sure could use him from what I saw today.

I agree with this statement. How many Redskins fans were saying Davis was a bust last season and early this season until he got his chance. Im sorry but we have to many fans who just dont know crap about NFL talent.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
Why trade Cooley who has been our most productive offensive player the last few years. He is a guy we scouted and drafted and now is a pro bowl TE Now we have a few fans that want to trade him because Davis had 1 decent season. I like Fred Davis he catches the ball and runs hard after the catch but he is not a elite TE yet. I say keep Cooley and lets see how Davis does the next few seasons. Our WR corp is not good enough yet so we need our TE's to help our offense be explosive in the pass game.

What if Cleveland offers WR-KR Cribbs and a 3rd ? I doubt they would add a draft pick , as far as Cooley , we should trade any player if we get more than what they are worth .

-- Yes, Cooley has been highly productive, but even with his production, what has that meant to us in the overall efficiency of our offense? Obviously not much. -- Your last statement about TEs 'helping out' our WR corp to be more explosive is counter-intuitive. If anything, we've seen that relying on TEs takes away from an emphasis on wide receivers; making our offense more controlled, moderate, and incapable of being "explosive." Now, you might say that Shanahan will find a way to compensate for that, incorporating the TE effectively without turning him into nothing more than a safety valve, but Davis clearly is a player who can make this happen. -- Finally, and most importantly, we have way too many holes on this team to be stocked at the tight end position. You can go up and down just about every position and there's a glaring need. The best teams in the league build their rosters by loading up on draft picks from rounds 3 through 5. We already have two less than the normal complement of draft picks. If an offer comes along that's attractive enough, and I doubt it will, but if it does, I think you'll see that Allen and Shanahan might consider it. |

And the post you were responding to was from about a week before Cooley got hurt, so FD was still unproven at that point. |

If I was BA and I couldn't get a 1st & a 3rd, I'd take a 4th, 6th, a bucket of Bojangles Spicy Fried Chicken, with an order of dirty rice, and two Bo-Berry Biscuits.
