bird_1972 Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I, for one, didn't anticipate the impact and maturity Cooley showed throughout the season last year when we drafted him. I'd go so far as to say he was one of the only bright-spots in an otherwise dismal offensive performance throughout the year. What a 3rd round steal! So ... who do you guys think will be the "Cooley" of the draft class of 2005? Offense or Defense - does not matter. I'm thinking that guy Nemo. We were hurting on the short-yardage stuff last year and I think with an improved o-line, he could make an impact. If we hadn't signed Holdman, I might have said McCune instead, although at this point I don't see him seeing the field in any other capacity outside of special teams.

ChocolateCitySkin Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 McCune :jerkoff: oh McCune -- Nah, but seriously -- I can't see anyone except Carlos Rogers making a impact. The other guys are just going to blocking on ST. Edit: Maybe Nemo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Maybe Nemo... maybe so, but i wouldn't mind seeing a guy put a huge exclamation point on our special teams. personally, i'll be damn happy to say next may that our 05' draft class had a huge impact on special teams. it would be a sign of a change in management philosophy and show signs of developing talent.

terpfan Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 McCune would really be the only one who fit the description... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wskin44 Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I'm hoping it's Nemo. The team needs a consistent short yardage guy. We were hopeless last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bird_1972 Posted May 24, 2005 Author Share Posted May 24, 2005 Originally posted by bubba9497 Rogers The prob with Rogers is he was a #9 overall pick. I kind of expect that dividend to pay off.

Grumpy Vet Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I'll throw another hat in the ring for McCune. I think w/ his military past - he could do well. Additionally the guy is a freak of nature. I mean really - if he could just work on his intensity he could be really good this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 I can't wait to see McCune hit...I can't wait to see first time he blows someone up on special teams. I doubt he will see very much time at LB this year, especially after the Holdman signing. But you never know. He may get a rotation here, a play there.... I hope he's a big hitter!

kingchris626 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I believe in Campbell. I hope he because our backup and if Ramsey flops, which he won't, or if he gets hurt, knock on wood then I think Campbell will get it done. He's more mobile than Ramsey and Brunell.

budski Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I like McCune also and the Nemo Kid. Cooley although will make an even bigger impact this year. He is dangerous, already understands the plays, second year. He will be great for alot of yardage, especially the way he slips into the open areas of secondary like he does.

red zone Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I'd say McCune will have a major impact whenever he gets on the field. Though he's no rookie, I also think Taylor Jacobs will be a big surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bird_1972 Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 Originally posted by jrfriedm If Rodgers isn't the biggest stand out of this years draft for us, then we are going to be real trouble But Rodgers shouldn't be a "surprise" as a high first-rounder. The reason I made allusions to Cooley is because I was hoping to get opinions on who would be the biggest pleasant surprise to come from this draft.
