[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1065200, member: 17953"] You're absolutely right by saying that there's no lack of effort on Cooper's part. All that's lacking is the ability to read an offense quick enough to get into position to make plays. This is essential to play inside because your range of coverage can vary so much depending on what is happening at the snap across from you and what your own defense has as intent. In Cooper's case, he's slow to react to the outside because he's not seeing the plays well enough at this point to make the immediate adjustments and that leaves him 1/4 to 1/2 step behind where he's supposed to be and that often ends up the difference between making and not making a play. Then there's the question of his speed. He's close to a 4.6. If he was .1 faster, it would make the job even easier because that translates into about half a step. Can he develop? Yes, he can. We'll know a lot more as this season progresses. It could go either way at this point. Hopefully he can get his reaction times down and be more effective. Kraft was a smart pick. In my opinion, he should have been drafted earlier. In fact, I think he's a better TE than Musgrave and was more draft ready than Musgrave. I think they let too much of the publicity surrounding Musgrave help them make that decision. It happens at times, but the Packers did the right thing drafting Kraft when they did. Over the years, I've gone from being skeptical about Gute's drafting to fully on board with the assessments being delivered by our scouts. They've made it a point to give the front office solid information to work with and that translates into good options for drafting. [/QUOTE]
