He’s not perfect (whiffs blocks badly occasionally), but he’s extremely well rounded, and very dangerous. Amari Cooper is a highly-intelligent, physical, shifty receiver who works hard to get open and loves to defeat a challenge. He’d be right at home in Oakland as part of a Carr-Mack-Cooper nucleus of young talent to drive Raiders success into the future. There’s still a lot of credibility to the school of thought that McKenzie should trade down in the draft, for as many holes as this roster has he’ll need as many picks as he can get. However, if he doesn’t get a great deal for that 4th pick, this is a no-brainer. Just draft him, baby.
