That is an amazing deal. There's no "frame" needed.
I find it interesting that you demand of Bradford to support your demand of Jimmy G theory, but you find demand of Cooks to be a damning indication that it was bad.
Actually, you brought Bradford up to try and knock Jimmy's injury history. I used your incorrect assumption that Bradford was somehow more durable at the point he was traded, for a 1st might I add, as a reason that Jimmy could actually return a much lower value compensation but more than your belief. I add in Jimmy's production to point out that he did have something that Bradford never had to that point and is sub 30 by the way to again highlight why a 2nd in comparison to Bradford's 1st isn't crazy idea. Cooks production has no impact on if it was bad or good because he lacked the longevity you'd want for the compensation, and AGAIN in context to busts and trading 1st rounders for a WR, you are using a follow-up trade to justify it but that isn't relevant to the point in regards to giving a 1st for a 32-year-old Julio Jones.
