Cooper struggled with elite corners last year, having 9 of his games fall outside the top 20 wide receivers. The Vikings, Packers, and Bears were three of four teams he faced when he finished as a WR1. Those team’s defensive schemes relied upon putting pressure on the qb

In games when they were rendered unable to do so, they were exposed. The Cowboys offensive line was able to hold them to six sacks through those three games, which is impressive since each one of these teams average over two or more sacks per game.

Couple the offensive line’s ability to provide time for Cooper to get open with the Dak throwing it 139 times in said games, you’d have to assume most wide receivers would have a great game. I’m not convinced that Cooper can beat the best corners in less than ideal situations.

Cooper’s schedule is going to be brutal if they keep him on the outside. Check out the corners Cooper has to face: Rams’ Jalen Ramsey; Seahawks’ Shaquill Griffin or Quinton Dunbar, the latter of which shut him down while playing with the Redskins last year; Browns’ Denzel Ward;

Cardinals’ Patrick Peterson; Steelers’ Joe Haden who just had one of his best seasons; Ravens Marcus Peters’; Bengals who just signed both Vikings’ Xavier Rhodes and Mackenzie Alexander; 49ers’ Richard Sherman; Eagles’ Darius Slay two times; not to mention, the Falcons’ AJ Terrel

Needless to say, Im not drafting Cooper, but Gallup and Lamb are both in play as this offense is going to need to move the ball after losing Byron Jones to Miami and Quinn to the Bears.
