I mean, I'd take Cooley on my team any day, and you can make the argument that he has had four consistently good seasons (of five) in a row while Daniels only has two (of three), but it is by no means crazy to place Daniels above Cooley. Cooley is right there with those guys, who cares if he is "#6" or "#7." And as far as production goes, it is really close so I don't know how you can use that criteria to exclude Daniels.
Daniels -
2007 - 63 catches, 768 yards, 3 tds
2008 - 70 catches, 862 yards, 2 tds
Cooley -
2007 - 66 catches, 786 yards, 8 tds
2008 - 83 catches, 849 yards, 1 td

I'm not excluding Dainels, I just think he's a very good receiving TE. Cooley is an all around TE. He's definitely a better blocker, has good hands, and can stretch the field. The list should be based on
all the attributes (not just receiving) a TE should have and Cooley has a little bit of everything.
