2.06 Minnesota Fighting Saints - WR Pharoh Cooper

In the real world: Cooper ran a 4.60 40 at the Combine, but Todd McShay says he plays faster than that. He was expected to go in Round 2 before his rough Combine performance and subsequent Pro Day performance lowered his draft stock. Sigmund Bloom: "Cooper's poor athletic testing and lack of baseline NFL receiver skills make him tough to project as a success, but he should get a shot due to his production in the SEC and raw ability." The newly-relocated Los Angeles Rams drafted him in Round 4. He's got a decent potential job situation, seeing as the #3 wide receiver spot in LA is up for grabs between Brian Quick (who spent 2015 recovering from a severe 2014 shoulder injury) and Mike Thomas (the Southern Miss version, drafted in Round 6). And he'll have Jared Goff throwing to him rather than Nick Foles or Case Keenum.

In the TUFF world: Bob Andrews went on auto-draft this round and later said he did not want to draft Cooper. Maybe he thought he was setting the auto-draft for his pick in Round 3 when he was making his list for this pick--I don't know and I haven't asked. In any case, Andrews decided to grin and bear it. I can't say I blame him for feeling bad, but given the job situation, it's not that bad of a pick.
