The Packers used a second-round pick on a guy who the Packers will be happy becomes as good or a little better than a guy who just got traded for the difference between a fifth and sixth round pick. I'm not going to go back and do some analysis of who else the team could have drafted besides Cooper, but wouldn't the team be better now and in the short-term with a certified top-15 off-ball linebacker and whoever they could have drafted in the second rather than Cooper and extra cap space? I don't pretend to know the answer and maybe Cooper becomes the next Fred Warner but it's certainly something I think people should think about relative to positional value and the draft.</p></blockquote><p></p>
