Don't know what took people so long to get around to Cooper. I know Slimm had him as his #2 underclassmen DT behind Covington (had/has Williams as a DE). Don't know if he still has it that way, but up until this last week, it's the only list I've seen that has a reasonable ranking on Cooper. Not rare for Slimm to be out in front on a prospect. If he performs up to expectations at the combine, people are going to go back to the Oregon game and rave about it (already should be). That movement on a guy that size is rare. Ultimately, those are the acquisitions that change the fate of your team. You need a solid roster, but to compete at the highest level, you need guys who can make freak plays, and, of course, a QB. Not every team has a DT that can live in the backfield. In a lot of ways, he reminds me of a bigger, faster, Michael Bennett from A&M, not OSU. He's excellent on stunts, and he's crafty with his hands.
