Brandin Cooks to Rams for a 1st: blockbuster

[Corbin]

Well at least I don't have to hear about us getting butthead OBJ anymore.

WINNING

 

[Angry Ram]

Yyyeahh, draft picks are officially worthless now.

He's a 1000+ yard receiver with 7+ TDs every year outside his rookie year. He's pretty good.

 

[Ram_Rally]

Brandin Cooks won't cost 20m. He's not Odell. But he's better than Watkins.

Thats what I'm getting at. The first is a bit high but I'm optimistic

 

[Loyal]

If he resigns with us a mediocre season got Watkins 16 mill a year ... he has a decent season what’s going stop cooks riding off onto the sunset of a flat bed of cold hard cash to the highest bidder

that's why you do his contract now

 

[UKram]

Maybe Snead and McVay have a wedding to go to or something on the first day of the draft and couldn’t make it so juts wanted shot of the pick ??

 

[InnovatedMind]

That doesn’t include Donald’s deal and potentially anyonemelse we sign

Donalds deal won't cost the full amount the first season? We have one of the biggest Cap Space's next year. People are honestly worried that this is a rental?

LOL. Come on now. Use your noggin'.

But that's just my opinion, some of ya'll could be right. IDK. I just doubt it. Heavily.

 

[UKram]

that's why you do his contract now

Like I said that’s if he resigns now

 

[Flatlyner]

No clue where we are going to get our EDGE/OLB's from now or ILB from for that matter. Not to mention needing OLine depth and a future LOT. Draft day just took a major down turn on me. I was actually excited to be drafting a bit later down the board to hope guys fell to us (Landry).

 

[Corbin]

I LOVE Cooks but this was expensive. No doubt the Rams are going for it all! Hopefully we can lock him up long term.

Yep it's go for the fences or go home and about time we have a roster and FO for that!

Also this confirms my suspicions is we like quite a few players deep in the draft, with the senior bowl and combine visits and post combine visits this makes a lot of sense because we can't afford a lot of the higher priced contracts with Donald, Goff, Gurley. Peters, and maybe a resigning of Suh coming up.

 

[InnovatedMind]

Thats what I'm getting at. The first is a bit high but I'm optimistic

Aw, sorry. I read that wrong. Agreed with you!

 

[StealYoGurley]

I guess they valued wr more then LB

Ive said this a million times. People didnt want to listen.

Wrong, Rams have over 100 million in cap next season

Lol how is that wrong, we’re talking two different things bro. You pointed out a fact just as I did. Cooks is on a one year deal, just like Watkins was. No grey area there.

 

[nighttrain]

Now Kupp and Woods have their long man, and can do their thing underneath
train

 

[Karate61]

Great trade. Cooks is going to kill it again, as he has done for years now. I'm going to enjoy this coming season, and don't care about the future after 2018. The Rams have sucked for years and I'm betting 2018 is gonna make up for it big time.

Would do you like better? 2017 Rams or the upcoming 2018 Rams. I'm all in on 2018!

 

[Ram_Rally]

that's why you do his contract now

He won't do that . he'll test the market if he isn't tagged

Brandin Cooks won't cost 20m. He's not Odell. But he's better than Watkins.

I think its a bit of a stretch to say he's better than Watkins. We do not know that yet, though the stats support your statement.

 

[HellRam]

Yeah tough trade to get a feel for. The Watkins deal was nice because we did not lose a 1st. I like Cooks, but I don't think he's all that much better then Watkins. Losing that 23rd sucks.

 

[HitStick]

Y’all were acting the same when we “gave too much” to Woods. Can’t wait to see all the crow getting passed around at seasons end. This is Steve Smith reincarnated.

Obviously, I’m a huge fan of this.
