This is exactly why buiding through the draft is the way to go. We get to have cooley on our team for four years basically playing for free, in terms of the salary cap. The trick is to have a good G.M. and personal department we can find quality players in the third and fourth rounds.

Signing a player is not proof of anything. We still have to find out if we have a player. It's his performance over the next couple years that will matter. I sure hope that Cooley makes it, but like all rookies, that remains to be seen.
