We freaking nailed that pick!
Les is working his magic.

Nice. And an extra pick with the trade down. I'm pleased with the 4th round.

 

[LACHAMP46]

hmmmm, I guess they knew the TE was there then....

I like this pick....excellent film....tested pretty bad...wonder what his 3-cone drill time is?

NOw THIS is where you draft receivers that run 4.6

 

[Wolfecola]

YEEEEEESSSSSS

Watched Cooper throughout his SC career. He's a stud. Small (5'11" 205) and didn't test well but uber competitive, makes plays all day, and is a tough SOB. Wins in traffic. Not afraid to take a huge hit to catch the ball. Plays fast. Very good YAC skills. Strong guy. He's a playmaker. Here's a stat for all of you, Cooper had 973 yards in 2015. South Carolina's #2 WR had around 160 yards.(Jerell Adams, their TE, was the second leading receive with around 400-450 yards)

Cooper actually would have had 1050 yards and a 80 yard game winning TD in the final minute against The Citadel but one of SC's young WRs didn't get set before the ball was snapped.

Cooper is a playmaker.

This guy can be the perfect compliment to Tavon and Gurley! Get a Center and FS in the 6th and I'm pumped on this Draft. Jrry must be pumped this weekend haha.

 

[Boston Ram]

Love this and the Higbee pick!

 

[Ram_Rally]

Very pleased with this draft so far. VERY

 

[Boston Ram]

I have always been a film guy first measurable 2nd. Great value with this pick, bottom line is this kid plain and simple is a good football player. His film does not lie!

 

[Athos]

Saw him plenty as a Mizzou fan.

He's a slippery tough SoB.

Had many a back breaking 3rd down conversions where I had just no idea how he got open or came down with the ball.

Annoying as fuck. Type of WR that'll piss opponents off.

You got a fiesty WR who can finally do work in the slot.

 

[Ram210]

Great pick in round 4; can and does make plays. The Rams were short on picks but found some talent in round 4 with Higbee who slid because of character not football skills and Cooper who lacks the measurable but is a producer. Good haul as this is how you draft when you lack asset opportunity.

Love this kid's power for a small guy.
Can also add tremendous value for Coach Bones on special teams (returner/gunner).

 

[StealYoGurley]

big time playmaker. Randall Cobb talent. Good hands can do it a bit of everything and is great after the catch. Loving what the rams are doing giving Goff some versatile weapons between the hashes.

 

[IowaRam]

Well fellas , I'll have to admit I'm liking what the Rams are doing so far

I'm still confident they'll throw a wrench in there somewhere

but so far , so good

 

[Adi]

good pick, he will definitely add competition to the position. Him and Higbee should help out a lot on that young offense. The team needs to do all they can to get GOFF protected and enough weapons so he can be successful.

 

[Ramsey]

I didn't see this coming, but I like it. Not an underwear Olympian, but a true football player.

Very quick first few steps. Perfect fit for slot receiver, giving Goff a weapon to hit on quick slants. Not afraid to go over the middle, sure hands , will set a good example in practice. Possible future leader type. What's not to like?

Pharaoh is a stud on special teams too. Will add even more options to that Tavon, Gurley option trick plays and he can throw the ball. Yes! We badly needed a quick, sure handed, courageous slot receiver.

I can't help believe Les and Jeff saw Pharaoh at the top of their board, and Les, running his fingers thru his hair exclaimed,

" My God Jeff, Pharaoh is still there. He can start in the slot on day one! Wow, what do say I trade down and grab a bonus pick?"
