I drink things, and know nothing
I really hope Cooks bounces back. Offensively, we may bounce back more than expected, especially if Corbett and Edwards get some continuity in training camp and progress, along with a healthy Havenstein.
If he plays, I really hope he can avoid concussions. He's had way too many already, and that's more than a little concerning.
One thing about Cooks is he works hard & believes in himself.
B. Cooks will have a 1,000!yard 2020
“Turbo set!”

Nobody wanted to trade for Todd Gurley. Nobody wants to trade for Brandin Cooks.
And who's trading for a WR when its one of the deepest WR class in recent memory? If we could get a 4th for Reynolds, I'd take it and run. (Yes I know I'm dreaming)
YEP - NOW this is my type of thread. Offensive Lineman 2020 Draft.
LMAO !!!
Holly Molly. The Rams need playmakers. I love the WR from USC. Yes The Rams stole Reynolds & what a pick with Copper Kupp!!
Keep asking . Isn’t Cook the only WR The Rams have signed after 2020??
This is my point. The Rams still need a
Edge Rusher & RB as well.
I think if The Rams can draft a PLUS OLB/MLB, RB, & a WR.
Huge Johnathan Taylor fan in 2020,but with that said I think The Rams can really upgrade there ascending talent level quickly by circling these 3 spots.
1. Patrick Queen #52 LB
2.Dobbins,Akers,Claypool wr
3.KellyRB,T.Johnson,Pittman
6.Tyler Bass K
Was just thinking about the fact that the Rams WR room could change dramatically.
If they can trade back 6-9 spots from #52, and Michael Pittman is there, I would take him.
Then you still have four picks in the next two rounds depending what you get in a trade down.
So can still address C, Edge, DL, RB.
Edge because Floyd and Ebukam are on their last yr and they don't have a lot of picks next yr.
RB because you have no depth there.
DE/ DL because they need more pass rush potential on the DL.
I have no doubt he can do that if he can avoid concussions. I'm not at all worried about whether he can get it done on the field - he's shown that he can, consistently, and in multiple environments at that. His numbers probably would have dipped a little last year anyway given the OL issues and his status as the deep threat guy, but the biggest cause of the dip was injuries, not any decline in his actual abilities.
All good points. I think waiting for a WR because of the depth though.Especially for the depth.I guess Woods has 2years left & was extended?
The dip was also because Henderson DID not do that well & had nagging injuries. The young lineman played better than he did.
Cooks does need more time to run his routes. He would have down better if The line played better as well.
Agree totally on view with your Cooks.
As I keep saying fix the oline and Cooks and the offense flourish.
I nor anyone hear can speak to his concussions. If one more or two more concussions could put him out for an extended time frame maybe that is not worth it. If management is worried about the concussions then they will try to offload him. Hence maybe why other reason could simply money.
Me personally I think he will bounce back huge.

Hey! I'll have you know that all proceeds from my fiction writing is going to charity, not me. So I'm clearly getting paid worse.
Seriously, though, all proceeds are going to various reputable charities.
Sir. He only has 1 concussion left. And that is the solid 100% truth. After his next one. He's done.
Therefore, in my opinion, and I know I'll receive instense heat for saying this. In my opinion, if you throw in Cook's concussion problem, matched with his short physical stature .... Josh Reynolds is more valuable to the team. Not even kidding.

Here is my old man rant. I can barely stomach news stories of any type anymore. Are we that attention deficient to actually reject a story that is written essay style, without tweets adding words around the tweets?
I read a story last week that was done the way it should be done and it was memorable. Reporters should get two-three actual interviews before asserting ANYTHING for a news story. No, tweets are not good enough.
Now, we get a false story/quote, that is quoted as a source by other lazy reporters and then the original story is removed from the internet and everyone think it's fact after that.

Or you look at it if the value of the player makes him a border line first rounder and you get him at 52 or later, that's a good move.
They need more high end players instead of forcing needs.
