Big Board Rank: #210 · Day 3 Sleeper
Anez Cooper arrived at Miami as a lightly-recruited three-star prospect who has steadily developed into a reliable interior offensive lineman over four seasons with the Hurricanes. Standing 6-3 and weighing 305 pounds, Cooper possesses the ideal frame for guard or center work at the next level, though his athletic limitations and inconsistent technique keep him projected as a mid-to-late round developmental prospect. His best trait is his football intelligence and ability to handle complex protection schemes, making multiple calls and adjustments at the line of scrimmage. However, Cooper struggles against elite pass rushers due to average hand placement and footwork issues that allow defenders to gain leverage. His run blocking shows flashes of nastiness, but he lacks the consistent drive blocking power expected from an NFL interior lineman.
