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

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?
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.
