Elijah Surratt... was more productive than Cooper, you know, especially against some of these better teams... the jets liked him. The NFL liked him... They thought he was a first round pick.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Surratt more productive vs. elite college teams; but Jets preferred Cooper as first-rounder.

Elijah Surratt was more productive than Omar Cooper during Indiana's college season, particularly against better competition. The source notes that while Cooper had a 207-yard, four-touchdown game against Indiana State (a 73-0 win) and limited production against elite teams in the postseason, Surratt demonstrated more consistent output against quality opponents. However, the source contextualizes this by noting that Indiana played from ahead in every game due to going undefeated, and that NFL evaluators and the Jets organization still preferred Cooper as a first-round pick.
