Connor Cook selected the Oakland Raiders in the 2016 NFL Draft

After all the discussion and debate over his leadership skills, Connor Cook has been drafted by Oakland in the 4th round. While Cleveland had the second pick of the 4th round they ended up trading up to grab Cook.

Spartan fans never expected for Cook to fall this low but the real shock is that he ended up being the 7th QB selected. Many thought he was the 3rd or 4th best QB in the draft but after the NY Jets took Christian Hackenberg 51st. Then the Patriots and Browns took QBs in end of the third round

Connor Cook was a starter for Michigan State for three years and was one of the most storied QB's in the school history.
