Quote:He dropped 8 passes in 130 targets this past season. Stop exaggerating.
You want to update me on the rest of his years there buddy. Hey listen Cooper is a fine WR it just irritates me this board would even dream of picking any WR at 3.
Quote:I don't recall Amari Cooper being injury proned.
Also, Kiffin ran a Saban style offense at Bama. His offense was a lot more wide open at USC. Kind of like Roper @ Duke vs Roper @ UF.
I did a horrible job explaining. I meant I like Cooper because he seems durable and with Marqise Lee, it worries me.

Why?
BPA is just that. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule, but the hopeful progress of a rookie (and I'm talking about Marquise Lee here) isn't going to knock a stud like cooper from the board. You couldn't teal Troy Williamson to catch, you couldnt teach John Broussard to catch, and you couldn't teach heyward bey either.
Some of us aren't sold on Lee. Sorry you feel differently. And while I wish there were better prospects for us at #3, Lee is the BPA if Leonard Wlliams is gone.

Good because we already have Lee. Now we can pick someone else :yes:

It's not that we wouldn't dream of picking ANY WR at 3, just not Cooper. He isn't good enough. Like I said a week ago, he probably isn't even the best WR in this class...and White just confirmed today why many people think that.

He bounced back from a bad, injury-plagued season to have the best season of his college career. Improvement is improvement. Don't let your bias make you come off like an ignorant fool.

LOL, nah. Nice hot take, though.

<p style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'proxima-nova', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>WEAKNESSES:</b> Will freelance on his routes a bit and simply drops too many footballs. Cooper dropped at least one catchable pass in each of the three 2013 games I viewed (Virginia Tech, Auburn, Oklahoma), including a potential go-ahead touchdown late in the third quarter in the Iron Bowl. In all fairness to Cooper, he demonstrated his game-breaking ability against Auburn moments later with a record 99-yard score to give Alabama a 28-21 fourth quarter lead.

<p style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'proxima-nova', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">IN OUR VIEW: Box score statistics can often be misleading when evaluating players, but some prospects have both the resume and the skill-set that are equally as impressive to scouts. And Cooper would fall into that category.
<p style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'proxima-nova', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<p style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'proxima-nova', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He doesn't have the speed of Sammy Watkins or size of Mike Evans, two receivers drafted in the top 10 last year, but it's tough to find holes in Cooper's game. He has a natural feel for the position and is above average in two critical areas: getting open and catching the football.
<p style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'proxima-nova', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<p style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'proxima-nova', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">COMPARES TO: Marqise Lee, Jaguars -- There are plenty of similarities to another former No. 9, Marqise Lee, however -- and not all of them complementary to either of the 2012 All-Americans.
<p style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'proxima-nova', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<p style="color:rgb(17,17,17);font-family:'proxima-nova', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cooper is noticeably thicker in his chest and thighs than Lee (6-foot, 192 pounds), which may make him more likely to remain durable. He'll need to be to earn the first-round pick that Julio Jones and Roddy White received. With the only quarterback Cooper has ever known at Alabama now playing for the Cincinnati Bengals, Cooper could discover (as Lee did last year) maintaining stardom is more difficult without an experienced passer.
Soooooooooo... a scouting report that was written before last season is the best you got? FOH with that nonsense.
Also, knock it off with that stupid "bammer" garbage. It's just as dumb as calling you "barner" because you're an Auburn fan.
