Gonzalez got traded at around 32/33 for a second round pick so it's certainly possible. Cooley would obviously be a tough choice but if they're not going to use the two tight end sets then it wouldn't be a bad idea to trade him for a second round pick. Then again Shanon Sharpe was productive all the way through his career which finally ended when he was 35.
Rebuilding is about making tough decisions going forward. If we're committed to a rebuild then I say we strongly consider dealing Cooley for a second round pick.
