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

With the way Davis has played these last few weeks I've been thinking more and more about this and I've got to say, as much as I love CC I really don't think it would be a bad idea to put some feelers out there to see if there is any trade interest during the offseason.

Can we really say we've lost much of anything in terms of TE production since Cooley went out?

No we haven't and we seem to run more exotic stuff for Davis. We use him downfield more it definitely seems.

I agree. It appears Vinny really isn't a bad judge of talent and I'll give him that, just drafts the right guys but at the wrong time when we have more pressing issues.

I don't think we'd be able to get a 1st and 3rd for a guy who went out with a broken leg, but I think even a 1st, or a 2nd+3rd could significantly help us in this upcoming draft. We have Yoder to block, Davis to catch and continue to improve his blocking. I don't think we're in any bad shape shopping Cooley. I do love him though, and he happens to be my favorite player on offense. It would be just too smart of a move not to do.

I'll probably finally get that Cooley jersey I've been asking for for Christmas this year, and a month later he'll be traded.

I've been saying this for a LONG time. Probably around when this thread was created too.

He is the only player really worth anything. I highly doubt, however, that we will get a 1st AND a third. Best case would probably be a 2nd rounder. But as Matty said, it doesnt hurt to put out some feelers and get an idea of what Cooley's market value is.

No one is going to give a first and a 3rd for Cooley.

Exactly, so the more important question.

How much is Cooley worth? As I said, a 2nd.

Of course nobody is going to give a 1st and a 3rd, but how about a 2nd and a later round conditional pick?

Yes, I'd do it.

I would take the 2nd and conditional too

I think I mentioned this in another thread...but what about looking at Davis' trade value now?

I would rather trade Cooley if we were going to trade one of them. Davis is younger and cheaper.
