Didn't see KY point it out since he's big on SPARQ, but no one with Cook's athletic profile has been drafted in the first round since 1999. Guessing he doesn't fall to the second round though. His tape just looks so good.

The way our line run blocks, wasting the #4 pick on a RB would be a huge mistake.
Disclaimer- yes I know a lot can change from FA and adding guys in rounds 2/3.
Quote:Apart from being better at trucking people,what does Fournette do better than Cook as a running back?
The way I'd look at is there is around 7 or so main attributes that go into being a running back. I'd give the edge to cook in the majority of them
Acceleration- Cook
Speed- Cook
Vision- Cook
Agility- Cook
Power- Fournette
Receiving- Cook
Pass blocking - Cook/Fournette (I'd say Cook but others would say Fournette)
Fournette is still an elite prospect of course, can't wait to see him play. Just if you are going to draft a running back that high you may as well get the better one. Think the 3rd or 4th is where all the value is for one though.
Speed - they are so close. 4.5 vs 4.51

Cooks combine performance really blew this post to shreds didn't it.

Yeah, but it's hard predicting that too. What Cook showed on tape didn't seem to match the combine stuff.

Yeah I guess that's true. On film you would easily say Cook is more agile and has better 0-60 than Fournette.

Maybe Fournette's agility scores would be in the 10th percentile too...
He did pull out of them after completely bombing the only one he attempted after all.

They say Cook has a mean stiff arm. But bulldozer of course goes to Fournette.

I want to change my vote to Fournette. Looks beast would husband
Christian McCaffrey had a better Combine than either Fournette or Cook, and he's got loads of spectacular game tape to back it up.
I don't see why he's not in the conversation.
Because cook is better that is why
Dalvin Cook is a thug. If you are going to draft a guy who allegedly hits women, keeps bad company, drinks heavily, has multiple kids with multiple women, and abuses animals, you can get Mixon in a later round. Cook has trouble written all over him.
Edit: I know he was found not guilty on the battery charges, but he's had many run ins with the law already.
