1.03 New Orleans Chocolate City - WR Amari Cooper

In the real world: Cooper is the most NFL-ready of this year's wide receiver crop. He consistently produced against everyone the SEC could throw at him, making a name for himself as a true freshman in 2012 and winning the Biletnikoff Award last season. Now with the Oakland Raiders, he instantly becomes their #1 wide receiver. Former Cleveland Browns GM (and current Senior Bowl Executive Director) Phil Savage compares him to former Indianapolis Colts wideout Marvin Harrison.
In the TUFF world: New Orleans' WR corps was the league's least-productive in 2014, and as it happens, the best player available at this point fills their need. Cooper should be the Chocolate City's #1 wideout in no time, given who their top three were last year (Eddie Royal, a free agent pickup; Marques Colston, who is in the twilight of his career; and second-year man Robert Woods).
