He likes him a lot, loves the pick, excited about it, says he's not as raw as people say, sees him 100% as a starter in this league:

+ can play both LT and RT (in fact his college team made their tackles switch side several times during games), exceptional footwork, good pass protecter, nasty guy in the run game, super long arms, really good at re-establishing him self and moving his feet, hard to get around in the pass game, fluid, good balance

- could be more immediately impactful with his first hit, never wins with his first punch, lets guys get too close to him because he's a bit late with his hands, panics a little bit sometimes against speed

Cooley finished his breakdown saying he's talented enough to be a week 1 starter! (This is not what we drafted him for, but this could be turn out to be a great pick).

I really felt like this was a great pick. They could have went and got a guard or corner but instead went BPA and got a backup LT/RT. With Trent's injuries we need a guy who can step in. I'd expect Christian to play a lot this year.
