As we´d draft only receivers anyway... NO.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
 

If the Skins could definitely get a 1st and 3rd for Cooley, I would pull the trigger without hesitation. I like the guy, but getting two nice picks for him outweighs my desire to keep him on the team.

No one will offer that, and any team approached by the skins with that deal would laugh Vinny off the phone.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
 

Yes. We're not close. A draft with 2 first rounders and 2 3rd rounders could overhaul our o-line and get us a RB. With Davis in the fold I think Cooley is expendable given your parameters.

[quote=Beemnseven;609761]If we accept that the only player on our roster that's attractive enough for another team to give up a first and third round draft pick is Chris Cooley, would you trade him?

Assuming that we could use both first round picks for offensive linemen, along with regaining the third round pick we lost for Jarmon, I would probably be in favor of it. Doesn't mean I don't like Chris Cooley -- he is a world class tight end, no doubt. But if there isn't a quarterback who could be kept upright long enough to find him, what good is he?

I think we could all agree that O-line should be the priority. If this was the only way we could stockpile extra draft picks to rebuild the line, would you jump? What if this could be our 'Hershel Walker' trade?[/quote]

I would do it, but I have to ask myself, who do I have on the roster who could come close to matching his production? We don't know yet what kind of player Davis is going to be. Traditionally, TE's do not fetch 1st rounders in a trade but it would be nice work if we could get it.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
 

Fred Davis still thinks he's playing against PAC 10 defenders with less athletic ability. Is there ever a play where he has the ball that he doesn't try to juke or hurdle the defender, who often is just as fast and athletic? At least with Cooley, he runs great routes, but after the catch, he puts his head down and bulls his way for an extra 3-5 yards. The premise of this thread also assumes that the Skins would draft starting caliber players with a 1st and a 3rd, which looks highly doubtful when you just look at the disastrous 2nd round of 2008 when Vinny whiffed on Thomas, Kelly, AND Davis. Just. Say. No.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
 

Yes and no.

Yes if had people that would actually draft based on need, not man crushes. So no.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
 

I do it...

Our roster is going to be so overhauled this offseason it's not going to matter whether Cooley is on our team or not.

[quote=Mattyk72;609793]If I was confident Davis could step in I would do it, trouble is I'm not, so I wouldn't.[/quote]
Since it's such a blocking role this year who knows. You have to take that trade it seems, would hate to see the guy go though.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
 

in a new york minute. what exactly will the win total be with, and then without? are some of you guys still thinking we can trade someone like Betts for Tom Brady?

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
 

[B]No[/B]. ..

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?

That's what I thought about Chris Samuels but now we all have to deal with losing him.

Like Bob Dylan says..."The times are a changin' "

Learn to adapt with the environment and don't hold on too tight because the only thing that remains the same is change.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
 

I say yes.

Re: Chris Cooley for a 1st and a 3rd -- would you do it?
