Cooper DeJean injured?

Hard to win a game with zero points, only way they score is a dropped punt recovery for a field goal. A Purdy will beat them the next game.

I guess he'd be the first Purdy that could!

If that happens, Hawkeye fans will tear their own balls off

I love Tampa, but DeJean has the edge in my opinion. As much as it hurts to say that. He's been more consistent and it feels like he has some edge in growth opportunity.

Need TJ to go in 1st round and Coop to fall into 2nd haha

Tampa has the size. How many CBs are his size?

Dejean and Tampa are basically the same size.

If I were an NFL GM, I’d take Cooper early in the 2nd and play him at safety.

And I’d take Tampa mid to late 2nd as a CB.

Let’s see what their combine numbers look like first.

It will be interesting to see if DeJean can play a corner in the NFL, especially a team that plays a lot of man to man, instead of zone like he has played almost the entire time at EIU.
What will get him draft in front of Tampa is DeJean is a heck of a punt returner, that will help him at the next level.

Drafting off of the combine is stupid. Basically meaningless IMO.

Teams that do that suck. You need to draft football players.

 

[iahawks]

I would be fine if Cooper got feedback that he won't go until round 3!

Correct. TJ is a freak.

Yeah, I would put Cooper at Safety for the NFL, Tampa is a definite corner.

 

[NorthCyd]

Where is that from? PFF?

He will go pro. He has too much risk and downside if he comes back. Any hiccups and it will be that he has a lingering injury. He can't afford to have that thrown at him or another injury will mark him as injury prone. He HAS to go pro now.

so he can go 4-8 with NCAAs first female head coach?

 

[Billups06]

Agreed. Iowa's defensive scheme allows Dejean to play like a safety (man concepts in a primarily zone coverage), as his eyes are generally facing the QB.

Slow 40 times if you are going to play CB in the NFL are not "meaningless".
