I doubt we could get a third, but a 4th rounder is a definite possibility. At that price, I don't think it would be worth it. We'd have to move Orakpo to RDE on a full-time basis. Who would play SLB?

Chris Cooley is nothing more than a 4th rounder, huh? Wow. Fail.

We traded up to draft Cooley and we just gave him a new contract , so Cooley is not getting traded. Davis has shown he can play in this league and I think he will push Cooley even more to come back better than ever. We need both of them to make our team better. So no dont trade Cooley.

I agree with this. Keeping Cooley is a much better option then picking up some one in the draft that you have no idea if he is good, great, or very fucking bad.

I don' want to trade Cooley but if there's someone I would trade for, it would be Cribbs and converting him to RB.

Under the old Browns management, we could have gotten him for a cheese sandwich. Now, they may actually want picks and stuff. While he'll be helluva player, I think you'd need to give up too much and not be able to address other more important issues...like the offensive line.

diehardskin2982 · 01-07-2010, 10:37 PM

How long has Cribbs been in the league? Will he become a RFA or UFA?

He'll be a UFA...when his contract expires in 2013.

diehardskin2982 · 01-07-2010, 10:42 PM

thanks i just read the article on ESPN. His contract is terrible! He is by far the best player on that team getting paid the least!

Are you serious? We can get at least a second rounder for Cooley.

The production we get out of Cooley i don't think it would match what Cribbs could do for us on a value standpoint to be a straight up trade.

He's a great special teams player, but I think we would be better off trading Cooley for a pick. We would be much better off developing a young guy. Plus it would be a lot cheaper.

When this thread was first started we hadn't had a chance to see what we had in Fred Davis. If the team is convinced Davis can improve on his development, a 1st & 3rd for Cooley where do I sign?

Hamoskinz · 01-08-2010, 03:50 PM

I'll take that trade, improbable as it is. I love Chris Cooley but a 1st and 3rd is a great trade. Fred Davis is going to be a Cooley clone in the next few years. With that extra pick IMO.

Pick #4 - Russell Okung or Sam Bradford
Extra 1st Pick - Mike Iupati or Trent Williams
Pick #36 - Jahvid Best or Charles Brown
Extra 3rd - Dan Lefevour or Toby Gerhart

That would be a lot of offensive help for the future which IMO outweighs having 2 good TEs with average/poor O-line.

Rajmahal33 · 01-08-2010, 03:52 PM

I never thought i'd be saying this cuz Cooley embodies everything that I like about the Redskins, but in the end its a business and HELL YEA i'd trade him for a 1st and 3rd. After seeing how Davis played in his absence, the dropoff from him to Cooley is easily worth a 1st and 3rd rounder. Anyone who disagrees is just thinking with their heart and not their brain. It's a moot point cuz it'll never happen.
