If we could get a 1 and 3 for Cooley, I'd say do it. Not sure we could though, and not all that confident the FO would make good with the picks. Tough call.

There is no confidence in the front office period to trust them to make good sound draft picks. They haven't done anything yet to assure us as skins fans that they the brains for such a deal.
