Yeah it is interesting to try and deduce whether he can run other routes or not.

One thing I've really noticed watching Cooper compared to others is how little wasted movement he has. You watch some guys and they have arms flailing everywhere and it just seems there body is moving a lot to run their routes. Cooper is just so smooth and compact in his routes, gets open with really subtle half steps and body control.
Yeah... He's about as pro-ready a receiver as I've seen in awhile.

And amazingly I think people also underrate him a little too because he gets called 'polished' so often..

People tend to gloss over his ability after the catch...

He's special...

My god... Just watching NFL live... Todd McShay and Bill Polian have heard teams say that Shane Ray will fall to the 2nd round...

If we could get Amari Cooper and Shane Ray id be f**king ecstatic...

Anyone think that a team could trade up into the bottom of the first for a QB? Sportsbet is offering tasty odds

Sorry about the format... My phones f**king up today...

Interesting... He ignored a lot of his positional rankings...

And he's also another person saying Shane Ray will fall out of the first round... Same with La'el Collins.

Apparently Collin's former girlfriend, who was pregnant, was murdered and the police want to talk with him. He is not a suspect but the police want to talk to him. He doesn't seem to want to talk to them. Teams won't have any definitive answer about whether or not he is actually a suspect before the draft. What team would draft him? What a nightmare if he does in fact become a suspect.

Yeah I've kept an eye on it... But the whole time everyone's pretty much said he wouldn't be a suspect because he had a strong alibi.

Mind you... It doesn't stop him from potentially pulling the strings.

The whole thing is just tragic.

Damarious Randall is an interesting name for us. I dont hate it, but i do think it maybe a reach

I think Collins slides significantly given this incident, the fact that he's reluctant to talk to police is a major worry. I could see him sliding all the way to Day 3

Shane Ray not so much, just a dumb decision, I thought he was overrated anyway so not surprised to hear the 2nd round grade

So big NFL day and im placing a few hundred dollars worth of bets... I'll imagine your surprises.

Bet365:
$50 on each.
Todd Gurley Draft Position: OVER 13.5
Amari Cooper Draft Position: UNDER 4.5
Kevin White Draft Position: OVER 6.5

Sportsbet:
$50 on each
Total Defensive Linemen Draft 1st round: UNDER 5.5
Total Wide Reciever Draft 1st round: OVER 5.5
Total Linebackers Draft 1st round: OVER 4.5
First Tight End Drafted: Devin Funches*
Will Tennessee Titans Trade the #2 Pick? YES

*- only on this for $20, Funchess is being considered a TE by betting agencies, and i think there is a decent chance he goes before Maxx
