Right now, I'd put him near the top of the second tier of tight ends in the league, if they were divided into three. But guys like Antonio Gates, Alge Crumpler, Tony Gonzales, Jason Witten, Dallas Clark, Todd Heap are by far more complete tight ends, and hence, much more of a threat than he is.

When he gets into the top tier, then maybe we can say he was worth that extra 2nd round pick. But as of now, he's a good player who needs a lot of work. In my mind, he's one of the exhibits of how teams shouldn't use multiple draft picks to nab players that they really like.

Oh really?! so just what exactly does he need to do to become 'top tier' in your mind? Yes he is a fan favorite as well as one of my favs, but all that aside your assesment of Cooley has me a little baffeled. And how can you say he is overrated? You never really hear him mentioned anywhere, besides here. And consistency? I know hes not 'perfect', but I think he needs to be used more consistentantly. Hes open on sooooo many plays its not even funny. The kid has a knack for getting open. And speaking of 'overrated', what does clark, witten or heap for that matter have and do that differently than Cooley? Just curious. And no I dont think you broke the sacred honor, but I do think your in the minority.
