The Philadelphia Eagles pick WR Riley Cooper in the 5th round with the 159th overall pick (5th round) of the NFL Draft.  Cooper is a nice blend of size and speed as he is 6’3″, 214 pounds and he runs a 4.45 40.  Cooper is outstanding at run blocking and he’s a great special teams player which enhances his value as a player.  He is a good receiver but likely projects as a #3 or #4 WR in the pros.  Cooper played in 14 games (all starts) at Florida last season in which he caught 51 passes for 961 yards (18.8 avg) with 9 TD grabs.  In his four years at Florida, Cooper played in 50 games (28 starts) in which he caught 81 passes for 1,496 yards (18.5 avg) with 18 TD grabs.  This was another solid pick for the Eagles as Cooper was expected to be picked in the 2nd or 3rd round of the draft.
