Cooper DeJean going #15 Overall in this NFL Mock Draft
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Im not sure coming back for another year at Iowa would have helped his stock. A lot of factors working against him. I feel badly for Coop. What else could he put on tape that he hasn’t already done??
Cameron is west coast based & has covered the Sacramento Kings and now works for CBS Sports.
This is what i think held him back. He never really appeared that fast on the field. More of a glider.
I feel if Micah Hyde was more athletic than Cooper on the field and he turned out to have a great career when he moved to safety.
Most Iowa defensive backs end up there. It’s the nature of the Iowa scheme
49ers draft like they coach…too cute when the most basic smart play is the correct one.
They really needed OL and DB help….and they go with this guy ??
lots of family & friends had gathered tonight in his hometown
The Iowa social media folks were there, too (the guys who make all those cool videos)
It’s not about that, it’s about letting go of the brotherhood to reach for the brass ring, and now losing out on both.
This coming season for Iowa could be special and he could’ve been a big part of it.
Tape that shows the injury isn’t an issue and competing against peers in the combine would have absolutely helped.
Another year, if healthy, 100% helps his stock.
Kirk didn't want him practicing or playing on offense because he was already on D and special teams; KF eventually gave in and what happens? He gets hurt practicing w/ our pathetic offense
Our offense keeps delivering, man, and not in a good way.
It cost Cooper a lot of money.
I disagree. There are factors outside his control that were always going to be against him. Another year isn’t changing that.
Again, I’ll blame Brian Ferentz for getting Cooper hurt on offense in a practice. Brian should write a seven figure check to Cooper right now.
He didn't get drafted in the 1st round because he's a white DB. There, I said it. We all know it. Some team is going to get an absolute game changer tomorrow.
Probably a factor along with his injury and the focus on offense.
Sometimes, though, when a guy falls down the board teams second-guess themselves and think maybe they missed something. It's too good to be true that this guy hasn't been selected yet. We better pass, too.
Same reason Uthoff got cut from the Raptors as the last roster spot because the Players felt He wasnt as good a Locker room fit , but racism is only against People of color they say . Those soy infused analysts in draft rooms or in front offices who virtue signal stereotypes then are the first to cry systematic racism are one of the biggest reasons the Country is now eroding. Skin color should never be a consideration , merit should .

You just said at all... F you democrats!!!!
Maybe DUI Felon ,@Chishawk1425 would like to respond... Cooper wasn't drafted in the 1st round because he is a white kid with amazing athletic ability. I wish he would have came back but pussy lib losers like you get it... you made it this way, Republicans wearing an Iowa uniform...here's some news to you psycho... Kirk Ferentz is republican and has donated to them, now go practice hanging yourself when TRUMP wins again!!!
Riley Moss ran a 4.45 after his injury
Coop is a hybrid. Throw in 70% of the first round was offense players….it was perfect storm for him to slide.
I think he’ll be an all pro. At safety
How is he gonna be better than Cousins? Cheaper, yes, but better??????????????????????? Detroit and Green Bay gonna rule there for a while.
He has won at every level, cousins has one playoff win, throw in the vikes offense weapons he can have better results than cousins
How did Iowa shut him down? He beat you 26-0 without breaking a sweat...oh...you mean he didn't throw for 100,000,000 yards? Yeah because there is something called a game plan...coaches get paid a lot of money for it and the players are expected to follow it

It’s intellectually dishonest to not account for the worst P5 offense in the last 25 years. I do agree that your offense went into scrum mode knowing our offense couldn’t score but fat boys’ fumbles juiced your point total.
Iowa shut him down more than any team Michigan played, including OSU and the two playoff games. When the only touchdown drives you give up are like two and six yards, then the defense did their job. A part of that might have been Harbaugh knew the game was over at 10 to 0 in the first quarter.
