From the episode
He was going as late as any first round pick wide receiver... You could take him in the last round in high stakes... I was very surprised that people weren't more excited about like a round one rookie who's been nothing but awesome.
STACKED’s take
Cooper went too late in summer drafts; source surprised by low redraft bids on first-rounder.
Omar Cooper's draft capital and summer pricing were misaligned with his first-round pedigree. The source notes Cooper went as late as any first-round wide receiver in summer drafts, available in the last round of high-stakes leagues despite being a first-round NFL pick. His preseason lack of buzz (playing as WR4 in one preseason game) caused evaluators to undervalue him relative to his draft capital. The source argues his price never made sense in August, especially in best-ball formats, and that he represents exceptional value given his first-round status, organizational investment (Jets traded back into round one to select him), and immediate on-field performance. The source was aggressive in bidding on Cooper in redraft formats, acquiring him in multiple leagues and expressing surprise that other managers did not bid higher on a first-round rookie producing at an elite level.
