N/S Brandin Cooks traded to Rams

The pats did not recoup what they gave up to get him . The first round picks are basically a wash, not much difference between the 32nd pick they gave up to get him and the 23rd they got for giving him up to the Rams. But that was only part of the deals. In our trade they also traded a 3rd rd pick for a 4th rd pick to get him and now with the Rams they traded away a 4th rd pick for a 6th rd to get rid of him. So basically, they traded down from the 3rd rd to the 6th to rent him for a year. I wouldn’t exactly call that getting back what they gave up.

All the national pundits are saying they got better value in their trade. Going from 32 to 23 is a really big deal. Just that move would cost you at least a third maybe a second to make that jump. And the third and fourth we swapped was just a few spots. They got a better deal for Cooks than we did with only one year left on his deal.....Guess it makes up for Garappolo they got hosed on that deal....,
