My thoughts on the Cooks trade. Firstly, I’m going to try and look it in isolation and block out the hop trade. It seems the hop trade has all of sudden turned every trade into a bad one. Thread...

Positives he’s 26, had 4x 1000 yard seasons, he’s been traded for using 1st round picks by 2 of best coaches in the league, rams are eating $21m of salary, he has elite speed. Not many WR would be available at 57 with his speed and skill set. Only missed 2 games in last 5 seasons

Negatives - concussions. He’s had a few over last 2 years. Worrying, however in a recent interview cooks states he has seen neurologist and he feels more the comfortable to play. I trust the experts.
Overall in islolation, this is a good trade.

Add this to Cobb and the WR group looks more a balanced. When fuller went down we had a 1 dimension offense, hop. Now Hop is gone we need to spread ball about. The recent additions bring this ability. None of them will ever replace hop, however we do need to move on.

And with 4 at QB and this reviving core it is looking on the up now. My worry is the D and lack of rush!
