On Thursday night, Amari Cooper was the first Alabama Crimson Tide player taken by the Oakland Raiders with the fourth pick overall in the 2015 NFL Draft.
Some Alabama fans wanted Cooper to go anywhere except to the team on the West Coast picking in the fourth slot. I’m neutral on the aspect of my thoughts on him going to the Raiders just because they have been bad in the past few seasons. I mainly watch NFL to keep up with former Alabama players and I want to see them succeed. From a football standpoint, the Raiders struck gold with the pick.
