Chiefs Meet With a Pair of Corners And a Receiver

PrintThe Kansas City Chiefs talked with a pair of cornerbacks and a big wide receiver after yesterday's practice according to DraftCountdown.com.
One player was headed to play baseball with the Rangers until last week.
Info on the players, after the jump.
CB Perrish Cox (5'11", 189 pounds), Oklahoma State
Chad Reuter of NFLDraftScout.com says Cox is helping himself this week with solid play, especially because other corners haven't looked so sharp.
He's got sub 4.5 speed and a knack for breaking up passes but he also missed curfew twice during bowl week causing him to miss his team's game. Definitely something for scouts to keep an eye on. On the other hand, this could be a positive causing him to slip if the Chiefs were interested and getting good value.
He's expected to go around the second round.
WR Riley Cooper (6'4", 214 pounds), Florida
Another interesting story here. Cooper originally opted for MLB, even receiving a $250,000 bonus from the Texas Rangers before deciding football is the sport he wants to play. He told the Rangers, 'Thanks but no thanks', and is focusing on football.
He caught 51 passes for over 900 yards and 9 touchdowns in 2009. He's listed as running a 4.5 but he says he can get higher than that.
He expects to go anywhere from the 2nd-4th round.
CB Trevard Lindley (5'11", 178 pounds), Kentucky
He had an early season ankle injury that sidelined him for a month and struggled at times because of that.
He runs about a 4.5 and is expected to go in the 4th-5th round.

word has it that Lindley is
really struggling this week.
The only measure of true success in the NFL is the Vince Lombardi trophy. Anything less is a rationalization.
I think Riley Cooper said he can run lower (faster) than 4.5 as opposed to higher
He seems to think he can run in the 4.4’s

Also, he's absolutely horrible against any kind of physical DB
He doesn’t accelerate very quickly, doesn’t have great burst, and doesn’t beat the jam. Javier Arenas made him his…well, y’know.

I like Cox alot.
Cooper no thanks though we have enough WR that can make the acrobatic catches only to drop the easy ones.

I think we are pretty good at CB
Cooper may be better than Carr (though I think Carr will have a break 2010 season), but it’s most definitely not a priority.
With all the other holes we have, don’t draft a CB till the 4th round at earliest.

Cooper is a WR
Matt Cassell will be a top 5 QB in 2010
Jamall Charles will be a top 2 RB in 2010
Chiefs defence will be a top 15 in 2010
I will be a Chiefs fan until the day I die
Yeah. I notice they seem to be talking to a lot of CBs...
Didn’t we just draft a project guy last year? I hardly think any of these cats are good enough to come in and take the job from Carr from day 1.

Well scaryclouds was comparing Cooper to Carr
Two completely different positions. Cooper being a WR and Carr is on D. Just saying that Cooper wouldnt challenge Carr for anything since they play on different sides of the ball.
Matt Cassell will be a top 5 QB in 2010
Jamall Charles will be a top 2 RB in 2010
Chiefs defence will be a top 15 in 2010
I will be a Chiefs fan until the day I die
I got mixed up
I meant to compare Cox to Carr.

Lot more money in baseball than in football
Especially for Cooper, IMO.

Trevard Lindley
Is a really good CB. He killed at UK. I would take him in the 4th easy.

So with Cooper...
What happened to all that money? Did he have to return it? Or does he keep it?
