    Saints get the last pick of the 1st round.

    The New Orleans Saints traded wide receiver Brandin Cooks to New England in exchange for a package that includes the Patriots' first-round pick.

        They also traded for DE Kony Ealy, CAR's 2nd rnd pick in 2014:

        The Panthers announced Friday that the Patriots have shipped their second-round pick south in exchange for pass-rusher Kony Ealy and Carolina's third-rounder.

          Still got CB Butler for cheap too.

          Belichick is an impassive artist.

              The rich get richer: Brandon Cooks

              Saints ship Brandin Cooks to Patriots

              Remember how prolific Brady's long passing game was when he had real outside WRs like Randy Moss instead of a couple of mini-mights?

              Here we go again.

                  Apologies. I didn't scroll down far enough posting. Mods you can scrap this one altogether.

                        Well it is the last pick in the 1st round. Think of it this way, there are probably 3-4 WR that will get drafted higher than that this year, and there is no guarantee they are going to be as good as Cooks. Plus, he only cost $1.5M this year and they hold an option for about $8.5M for next year.

                        Cooks is only 23 years old, and is coming of 2 straight seasons where he caught 75 passes for 1,000+ yards and 8 TDs each year. The only other WR to hit those marks in the last 2 seasons are Odell Beckham and Antonio Brown. He has averaged 14.9 YPR over those 2 years. He is a very good player.

                          They basically rented Cooks for one year .........no way Belichick pays him $12-$14 million per season.

                              I could see it, especially if they see him as the replacement for Edelman. Edelman is a FA next year and will be 31.
