ok, even if thats the case then why havent the rams accepted a deal for a 1st then. if the rams dont want him, and tru is worth more than a 1st should a deal be done already?

We haven't gotten any 1st round offers for Tru yet, that I am aware of. Did you see something on twitter?

EXACTLY!!!!! cuz teams dont think hes worth a 1st. I dont get what is being missed here

... I said NOT YET, Picked. There are multiple teams inquiring about Tru, that only drives the price up. If we get 2, 2 rounders, or a 2nd round and a 3rd, then go for it. We get a Brandin Cooks for Tru, we take it.

Where's your source that "teams dont think hes worth a 1st".

I've seen reports that rams wanted a 2nd amd another lower pick and teams were saying that was high.... Me personally don't think he's even worth a 3rd especially if u have to pay him 16

Teams will be lookin at round 1 value at CB well into round 2 in this draft. I would take a 2nd round pick from this draft in a heartbeat for Tru.

so hes worth more than a 1st, but itll take a few days for someone to actually offer a 1st? cmon man, if teams thought he was worth more than a 1st they would have offered it already. but like I said, we'll just have to agree to disagree cuz this clearly is going no where

It clearly is... If you're a team trying to snag Tru, you're not going to say "Hey Rams, Can I give you my highest pick for Tru?" right off the bat.

Logic fail
 
Might be getting close to the time to let it rest for awhile maybe ???

If he even gets traded....Lets see how he does on a team with a average QB. That's all im saying.

Well that's why we hope we get him to pair with Goff so he doesn't suffer that fate!

I'm pretty sure they're trying to trade Cooks because of cap problems - TruJo likely doesn't help with that.

Cooks for Ogletree though - both on their last years...I wouldn't say no

No, they're trying to trade Cooks because he has been complaining incessantly about not getting enough targets. They aren't having major cap problems. They have about $30 million in cap room.

It makes a huge difference if they see Cooks as a scheme fit and don't see Tru as a scheme fit. Plus, this draft is stacked at CB.

Thats true it could make a huge difference....but those things still need to work themselves out and be proven. Forgive me if I am a bit hesitant to be encouraged by "things working themselves out"

To me it stands as trading one weakness for another. But i am more enthusiastic about trusting a young CB to transition before a young WR, so I'll relent to that.

Well, we're also receiving $15 million in cap room if we make that deal.

I guess it all does come down to scheme - I like Cooks (I have the Saints in the ROD Mock so I've been looking at their tape from last year) but if he's a moaner about targets, then to me that's a red flag - we know McVay likes to spread his targets around.

That said, I would be happy with Cooks, JuJu and Tavon as our top 3 WRs next season.
