I don't hate the idea.

Brings versatility and ability to get to next level. I like how he moves.

I kind of think he'll be just as good/better than Warmack. But each will
have their own niche.

In watching highlights of Cooper I noticed that he would invariably overrun the point-of-attack when pulling or during a screen pass, resulting in missed/off-balance blocks.

But...the more I think about it, it should even out due to the faster pace of an NFL line of scrimmage.

In my opinion, he'll be a better fit for an Arians-style offense than Warmack would.

I'd still like to see us have the opportunity to draft Larry Warford in the 2nd, even if we draft Cooper at #7. My man-love for Warford is almost as strong as it is for Massie, the dude just seems to have everything you'd want in an NFL guard.

I like the idea that Cooper can play center if needed

not at all afraid of Cooper as the pick, excellent player and in many ways better for our system than Warmack apparently....but listening to the Munster kid?? come on man.....

MJ said Warmack may have a shoulder injury that could be a factor.

He also said that Cooper reminds some of Alan Faneca with his ability to pull.

Im fine with Cooper. Kiper thinks he is a very good G from day 1 and can be an elite C if need be.

Fix the line, fix the line, fix the line. We cant expect to develop any QB (this year or next) without a line in front of him.

I don't know how you pass on Warmack, especially for another guard. Warmack is almost universally considered the only sure thing in the draft.

Hope this is a smoke screen.

Not 100% accurate. Most experts rank them very close with the difference depending on the scheme being run.

I love the idea of taking Cooper at #7 as a C and then grabbing Kyle Long in round 2 as an OG.

Hate the idea of what that leaves for options to improve at OLB.

I think this is our chance to see if the new regime is transparent in who they are going to draft, or if they are lying BS artists like every other team.

I'm kinda hoping for the 2nd thing. It would be nice to not tell every other team what we're doing every year.

I was hoping for Warmack and Warford with the OLine nickname of the Warmasters... We're probably better off without the nickname but it is a superpower of mine...

"Get used it"

My reply....no problem. I can definitely get used to that.

They're right next to each other according to almost everyone who are doing the gradings.

Warmack is more powerful but not by a bunch. Cooper moves much better and is the overall better athlete. Warmack can be sloppy sometimes. He's relied on his strength advantage in college more than good technique. He got talked up because there wasn't really a whole lot out there that stood out. Mostly mid grade 1st Rounders overall.

Nobody wants to trade up really. Atlanta @30, Baltimore @32 :shrug:

That'll depend on how the draft shakes out. If Milliner's available, someone might want to come up. If Milliner's gone but D.J. Hayden is available still, someone might want to come up.

If Sharif Floyed is gone but Star Louteleilei is still available, someone might want to come up.

If someone is totally in love with Tavon Austin, someone might want to come up.
