From Schefter:
He said he spoke with many teams before and after the draft. Many teams wanted Kupp and were upset that they missed out on him. He also said several teams were going to take Everett right after the Rams took him, he was going in the 2nd round.
From Curley:
He said watching OTA's that a "person who I value their opinion" (not sure if it was a coach, scout, or what) said under his breath at the practice, "Cooper Kupp may be the best WR on the Rams right now."
He went #69 overall! 28 teams had their chance to take him in round 2, with GB, Seattle, Buff and Car having 2 chances in round 2. Clev, SF, NO, and Jax could have taken him in round 3.
He was my Rams 3rd round target at #69, but I honestly didn't think he would still be on the board. Did these other teams really think he would be available after pick 69? LOL...
He said many teams wanted him in the 3rd round. Guys like Kiper said the Rams reached for him so obviously he didn't have him in the top 70. Mike Mayock was beating the drum for Kupp and he had him higher than most at #71. CBSsports had him at #80.
Maybe teams felt he would last until their pick in the 3rd round.
It won't be the first time that teams waited on a guy until the 3rd round hoping/expecting he'd be there and missed.
