Cooley, our answer to Jeremy Shockey

That being said, Cooley looks like he's going to be a great fit for this offense. He can block, he's smart, he can catch and make some things happen after the catch.

Gibbs knows TE's and H-backs. He obviously saw something in Cooley that made him feel comfortable enough to pass on a monster like KWII, take Taylor instead and trade up to grab Cooley later on.

I completely agree, Matty.
