I saw PLENTY of "why did we give up a 1st round pick for this guy?" posts.

Or "I like this guy but they paid too much for him" posts.

Or "I wish we still had our 1s round pick" posts.

They were there.

Well if they were there I did miss them but my bet is it wasn't very many people.

And you know there are initial reactions to things and then people discuss it and often a consensus forms.

For example not a single person in this thread disputes the idea that you get value out of trading a low 1st rounder for a young productive vet.

Maybe it took people figuring out who Brandin Cooks was, but I sense that whatever initial dissent there may have been, it seems to me that the view now is that yes the odds favor a trade like that.

As I said myself earlier in a post where I agreed with NewMexicoRam:

Relatively speaking, are you better off trading for an already proven and successful young vet than you are drafting a player in the bottom 3rd of the 1st round? Chances are, yes.
