Fahn Cooper, OT, Ole Miss 

The OTHER tackle at Ole Miss. Fahn Cooper was the starting RT for Ole Miss for most of the season and even got some time at LT when Laremy Tunsil was out. Having a lineman who can play multiple positions is critical when looking for depth up front. At 6-foot-4 303 pounds, he has the size to play both Tackle and Guard at the next level. His draft projection is 5th round or later.

When drafting lineman this late, you are really looking for guys who are character guys and versatile. Cooper got glowing reviews from both his teammates and coaches at Ole Miss so he passes the character portion and we already mentioned his multiple starts at different positions. This pick would only expand our Tackle depth and possibly get us a player who could eventually compete for a starting guard spot on the line as well.
