In my best Darren Hambrick voice, "What do chop down a few trees mean?".

I would rate Cooper over Warmack for the Zone Blocking Scheme and possibly for all teams if he can really play Center.

Cooper's draft stock rises if he can play Center. Also if he got offered by Duke he is smart and of high character.

I'm starting to worry that he won't be available at #18.

Fluker will be a better G than both of those guys, and could also play tackle. 36 3/4 arms is ridiculous. Those are longer arms than Tyron Smith and Ryan Clady

Despite labeling myself a "realist", no one understands my pain or appreciates my special truth. Stupid world.

Not sure about better, I do believe Fluker will be drafted in the first rd for RT.

Not in a Zone Blocking Scheme. It does not matter how much power an OL has if he can't get to the block. Regardless of scheme, Guards have to make blocks in space.

If Dallas picks Cooper, I hope it is for the center position. That way if he can't maintain his current weight, it won't hurt him as much. I see him much like Tyron. Tyron has been able to play around 307 lbs, but he had trouble with the bull-rush this year. I don't put alotta stock in combine weight anyway.
