[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 1034000, member: 12283"] [B]Why He Will Succeed: [/B]Cooper has every tool you could want in his toolbox: he's explosive and can change directions, he has length without being too tall, he has power with the frame to add more size. The hurdles for him are going to be all about the mental side of the game: understanding offense pre-snap and reacting instinctively post-snap. [B]Why He Would Fail:[/B] In my opinion, linebacker is the single most difficult position in today's NFL. I think it's harder than QB. Offenses put you in an absolute blender and often times their schemes are designed to make you wrong no matter what you do. So if Cooper fails, it will be because the position is extremely difficult and because the mental side of the game doesn't come along. [B]My Guess: [/B]I think Cooper will be very up and down as a rookie before coming into his own in seasons 2 and 3. I would expect him to both create and give up his share of big players in year 1. [B]Upside Comp: [/B]Players rarely reach their absolute highest outcome, but if we are just thinking about his raw tools, I think Cooper has a shot to be in the neighborhood of a Roquan Smith or Fred Warner.
