Quote:Thats over rated.   Cook played top level talent and smoked um. 

Dalvin Cook vs. Clemson smoked um

Dalvin Cook vs. Florida  cook second half smoked um 2015

Dalvin Cook vs Florida 2016 smoked um

Dalvin Cook (Florida State) vs. Michigan bowl smoked um 

 

And we can go on and on.  Combine don't take away from explosiveness.

A really good guy as far as informational scouting videos. . So take your pick

Both be a great choice.  But still think based on our offense.  Cook is a better fit. 

I'm starting to think both are overrated.  

 

So my answer is, neither. 

Cook's bad showing in these drills isn't surprising at all to me. I've always believed that he's had a stiff running style.

Mixon is better than both of them. We better take him in the 2nd or 3rd otherwise Jerruh Jones is gonna scoop him up and have 2 All Pro backs behind the best line in the league.

Honestly hope he falls to our 2nd round pick. Take Adams in the 1st.

The only thing overrated is the combine. Don't let a couple of drills that doesn't have anything to do with actually playing football fool you from actual game tape. This rule of thought applies to those who both "underwhelm" and those who "excel" at the combine.

This gif doesn't dispute what I said. He scored but still looks stiff.

They did confirm though...Fournette's poor vertical is evidenced by his lack of explosion and need for a runway in cutups, and Cook's lack of agility shows up with his rounding off cuts like in that GIF you linked.

What did McCaffrey's drills show?

That he's really good. Still not #4 worthy though.

If Fred Taylor was in this draft would you draft him at 4?

He would be in the acceptable tier yeah, but not above Garrett Thomas Adams Lattimore or maybe Hooker assuming they all pass medicals.

Please slap yourself one time!  Thanks!

That is just some of the absolute worst tackling I have ever seen

Cook's combine workout was a big let down. I would not want him at #4. McCaffrey looked amazing, I'd rather trade back and get him or trade back into the 1st to get him.

Fred Taylor didn't have enough groin flexion, and he didn't have as good of a Spider chart as Mike Doss.

Ten bench presses? That was poor.
