2024 2nd Round Pick #45 Overall Edgerrin Cooper

[Fritz]

What is a "cane corso"? I've wanted to cane Lee Corso before; is that what this is?

Cooper seemed genuinely pumped when they announced he was going to Green Bay - maybe that was part of it?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

The death of the girlfriend thrown in is one of the most macabre things I’ve seen in a scouting report. Is that supposed to mean he’s damaged goods? I’m not sure why that even is included. Tragic as hell, but not really relatable to football.

The mental is important. The melancholic player tends not to play at her optimal physical ability.

“Hunting, fishing and enjoying the outdoors. That’s where I get to rest my mind."

Sounds like he will enjoy Green Bay.

Great. A redneck.

Just an Aggie hahahaha

Great. A redneck.

Nice broad swipe with the insult brush.

The more I ponder this pick, the more mysterious it seems. If they really, really, really loved this guy, you'd think they'd have grabbed him with their #41, instead of trading back with N.O. You couldn't be 100% sure he'd still be there. Yet they also did not trade up to get DeJean, as it seems they could have done, if DeJean was that much more desirable. Maybe they didn't want to lose out on Edgerrin Cooper, or one someone else that they had ranked worthy of a #45 pick. They must've had a list of maybe four guys they liked about equally well, Edgerrin Cooper being one of them.

I just hope he kicks ass and doesn't get hurt due to his weight. I do enjoy the prospect of seeing him fly around and hit people, and maybe cover a tad better than Devondre Campbell.

I was in College Station for 2 months in 2022. Saw a lot of East Texas. Also been to GB twice. Other than the cold there is a lot similar. Many cows and White people with lots of hunting areas. A lot of open terrain, green and lush landscape with humidity. Neither had a big city feel but are close to the big cities. Both are close to the border if you are feeling international. I don’t think he would have like the big cities based on the dogs alone. We always read about young NFLers having a hard time staying cool when they find success. It’s part of why I love the Pack. Green Bay is the kind of place I would want to live too!

Bobble is tripping, like his coke was laced with fent. He is just bitter his tattoo doesn’t have the same meaning anymore.

Brian had guys in the room telling him that he'd be there. And they really, really needed Cooper.

Balls of steel on our GM.

Green Bay is cold, dark and dull. And full of racist Germans. Can’t even enjoy the outdoors, like disc golf, anymore without worrying about Lyme disease due to the tick infestation.

There’s a reason most players simply “work” in Green Bay and leave town as soon as the season ends. I, too, would leave cold, dark and dull Wisconsin if I weren’t chained to the burger joint.

Yeah, it's awful and just plain unlucky that there are no burger joints in warm/sunny states.

If you go to a place like Cali, the burgers are probably made out of seaweed. That would include having to go through a whole new job training program.

You never been to In-n-Out??? For shame!

I have. In Phoenix. Not bad. Not as good as Culvers.

Oof.

This is a touchy one.

One of INO's strengths is their consistency from location to location. I've found Culver's less so.

The standard Culver's Butter Burger might be better than a standard INO cheeseburger.

But a double-double Animal Style with chili's is better than most anything from Culver's.

INO fries >>> Culver's.

Culver's Custard >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> INO milkshake.

I think they saw both guys there, didn't care which one they got so they moved back. That tells me trading up for the other was never a serious option.
