Marcus Cooper
I kind of get the feeling everybody is writing this guy off. I mean it was obvious he regressed considerably towards the end of this season, but there is no reason to think a 6'2" CB with sub 4.5 speed still learning the position won't continue to improve. He's also got two great coaches in Thomas and Harris to develop him. I also think Parker is a solid piece for the future and I can see him ending up as our nickel at some point next season when the inevitable Flowers injury occurs. Need to add another long CB with good speed in the draft and we can possibly be set for the future.

@adamteicher: No surprise but Charles is Chiefs MVP and Cooper is their Rookie of Year

Exactly my point if this guy weren't an UDFA pickup from the 49ers I feel people would be more excited about his potential. Who cares how he got here? The guy is/was a great prospect with great potential. Just very raw with limited time at the position.

I still got hopes for him. He isn't a concern & can help this defense out on the corners but we really need get rid of Kendick Lewis.

Agreed. His tape shows promise, but the subtle nuances of the position certainly escaped him against higher competition. He'll improve.

Great point about the safety play. That and our lack of a pass rush made our corners look bad the second half of the season.

Getting torched off the snap and not getting his head around is what hurt him most.
Safety play hurt the team. Cooper has a lot to improve on in terms of technique. It's not time to give up, but I'm not willing to invent excuses either.

I don't think many have wrote him off. He was a rookie who played like one against good competition. The sky is still the limit for him.
