To me, if the Rams can get an early draft pick for either of them, I make the trade. Cooks especially.
But, as always, it’s a matter of “Are they worth more to the Rams than they can get in a trade?” I think in the case of Gurley that’s likely. He’s still going to be effective for them in short doses. More so than someone drafted in the 7th round, most likely.
I think Cooks is a tough player, and plays his heart out. He’s obviously extremely fast. I just don’t think he helps them where they really need that help: 50/50 contested catches. He’s not that good with those, or in the Red Zone, but it will occasionally surprise a fan like me.
It’s sad, but I think the Rams are in a kinda “rebuilding” mode right now, and I bet they didn’t expect that to happen this soon.
