I think it's a lot to expect a 3rd round TE like Trautman to impact the playing time or targets of a seasoned vet like Cook. There's no way to know when he'll even be ready to see the field with a demanding, perfectionist QB like Brees, TE is one of the tougher positions to make the transition to the NFL and Trautman is a small school guy who was a top prospect, but in a weak TE clasa.New Orleans acquired additional WR options and drafted a highly-regarded rookie TE.
Cook will certainly have week-winning games in this offense, but it will be impossible to predict when they will be. He's a Best Ball TE only, IMO.
You're right that Sanders impacts things, Brees is going to love him.
