Yeah. Cottam is a soft big guy.

I like Cook...don't like the idea of trading Tony, though.

If he can stay healthy, improve route running and get playing time I think Cottam could develop into a more athletic Jason Witten type player. Don't know that he'd be as consistent as Witten, but he has that kind of potential.

Why does every thread always revert into some Missouri player thread?

Yeah, I like his potential as well. Staying healthy is the big key.

Looks like his #s are the reason he's fallen.

Strengths:
Extremely athletic...Ideal height with long arms and legs...Still has room to add more weight...Outstanding speed and quickness...Great acceleration with a burst...Excellent hands...Great ball skills and body control...Phenomenal leaper with a 41-inch vertical...Elusive and will do some damage after the catch...Smooth and is a decent route runner...Can stretch the seam and be a vertical threat...Tons of upside.

Weaknesses:
Offers little or nothing as a blocker...Marginal instincts...Has to get stronger...Needs to continue bulking up...Overall toughness has been questioned...Will lose focus at times...Still very raw and relies heavily on natural talent...Didn't play in a pro style offense...Bit of a 'tweener.

Notes:
Brother, Jason Cook, played fullback at Ole Miss and is also a 2009 NFL Draft prospect...Redshirted in 2005...Began his college career as a wide receiver...Was hampered by a foot injury in 2008 but didn't miss any action...Workout Warrior who doesn't always play up to his impressive measurables...Might still be a better athlete than football player...A wide receiver in a tight end's body...One-dimensional pass catching threat with intriguing physical tools and a world of potential.
