The Cardinals have not had the perfect of luck with first-spherical picks.
Beanie Wells. Matt Leinart. Bryant Johnson and Calvin Pace. Wendell Bryant. Andre Wadsworth. You get the point. And what makes it worse is that, because the Cardinals’ file is typically bad, numerous those wasted picks have come very excessive within the first spherical.
You can’t put guard Jonathan Cooper in that listing yet, of course. But Cardinals followers must wonder when this curse will likely be lifted, as a result of Cooper won’t play this season. Cooper, the seventh overall pick of the draft, will probably be placed on injured reserve, the staff announced.
That’s fairly a blow to an offensive line that desperately wanted an infusion of expertise (which is why the Cardinals spent such a excessive pick on a guard), and to the group as a whole.
Cooper broke his leg in the staff’s third preseason sport, and there was some hope that he would be capable of return earlier than the tip of the season. The door to that is closed with the announcement he is on injured reserve. Cooper will try again in 2014.
Cooper, from North Carolina, kept rising up draft boards after the college season, as his blend of measurement and athleticism appealed to many groups. And Cooper ought to be capable to recover from this and have an important career. In the meantime, Cardinals followers can wonder what their workforce did to deserve such unhealthy draft fortune.
