Texans acquire Brandin Cooks

BRANDIN COOKSWR, HOUSTON TEXANS

Texans acquired WR Brandin Cooks and a 2022 fourth-round pick from the Rams in exchange for the No. 57 overall pick of the 2020 draft. 

It's the Texans' pick, though they still have the No. 40 overall selection they received in the DeAndre Hopkins trade. Cooks, of course, will immediately slide in as Hopkins' replacement. Cooks is a downgrade from a talent, versatility and contract aspect, but he will be a solid No. 2 wideout. Cooks, who has suffered some concerning injuries in recent years but not missed much time, is coming off by far the worst campaign of his career. Amazingly, he is still only 27 (in September). The difference between Cooks and Kenny Stills probably isn't as great as many might assume, but Will Fuller's injury history made it prudent for the Texans to fortify their receiver corps. Nevertheless, the Texans essentially traded Hopkins for Cooks and David Johnson, a trade that would not go through on Madden.

Bill O'Brien needs to slap himself and then fire himself and then if possible, kill himself.

BOB is doing a great Matt Millen with only 2 years at GM. Maybe the only GM Id keep Herniay over. Sad part is he can coach, but he keeps making terrible deals.

So kind of the Texans helping the Rams dig their way out of the mess they have built.

BoB needs to be fired like 4 trades ago. I’m willing to be Deshaun gets out of Houston as soon as he can.

Is he purposely sabotaging the Texans? You gotta wonder at this point.

He is channeling Sam Bradford, insane that both kept getting traded for and the price remained high. Peel back the layers are either was "good/great", just slightly above average at times and in GREAT systems that pump out numbers.
