Talking Draft Prospects

Cooper is a nice #2 IMO. If Sean Smith keeps playing like this then he's worth the money. Also have Owens and Gaines behind him. That's solid. I think that safety is thin.

If there is a Zack Martin type OL who is very pro ready in rd 1, I don't see how we pass on him.

The thing is, I hoped that Cooper would improve over last year. He has to an extent, not allowing any deep passes so far, but he is giving up over 70% completions to his player in coverage, that's not acceptable from a starting corner, IMO. Not with this pass rush. He needs to be at 60% at worst. Good thing is that most of this is underneath and it's ok if he can tackle them short of a 1st down, but he blew it against Lafell.

Drafting Marcus Peters in the 1st will help tremendously, either that or Cooper and Gaines developing into quality corners. I think Sean Smith, if he remains consistent in his level of play, should stick around for the duration of his contract.

I agree. I'm seeing quite a few good WR's and CB's projected in this draft
In rd 1.
If this OL becomes solid than wow.

I just look at Dallas and what they've done with their OL the last couple years and wow. Our OL gets like that with our current young players then wow.
