I wonder if the Chiefs playing the Niners in pre-season this year was a factor in scouting Cooper.
Seems like a real football player with great measurable, good thing we have a GM that took advantage of having first choice on the waiver wire.
I wonder what Greg Schiano thought about this kid. He was a WR while Schiano was at Rutgers and he stayed on the board until the 7th round.
Cooper looks like he will get the Mack Lee Hill award and maybe Defensive Rookie of the Year. Awesome fumble recovery and interception yesterday, great ball skills.

I think a lot of front offices were mad that we finally got a GM that knew how to use the waiver wire position to his advantage.
I think some teams in the 2 to 10 hole expected to get the good waiver cuts post training camp like they did when we would have Pioli make NO moves after TC and keep his own picks on the roster to stroke his ego and try and make them work.
Instead Dorsey flipped over 7 spots for guys like Cooper and McGrath and Parker who were clearly on some other teams waiver radars and we essentially put in a massive cock block in August.
Which is awesome.
