Dalvin Cook

 

It’s hard to determine where they Jacksonville Jaguars are at right now. They just got their first win of the season, but it was far from easy and it came against a Colts team that is really struggling. Head coach Gus Bradley knows he cannot afford another down year. Expectations were for this team to compete for at least a .500 record and maybe even a playoff spot. At 1-3 both of those potential goals look like long shots.

<p style="margin-left:0px;">Part of why the Jaguars are struggling is a lack of balance on offense. The team is ranked an abysmal 31st in the league, averaging just 75.2 yards per game rushing. Neither T.J. Yeldon nor the recently returned Chris Ivory have solved the problem. This has forced Blake Bortles to throw more often and also the defense to be on the field longer. It’s not an easy way to win games in the NFL. Hence why they haven’t done much of that.

<p style="margin-left:0px;">Given the strength of the running back class in 2017, it is an opportune time for the Jaguars to get somebody who might be able to change their fortunes. Dalvin Cook has pretty much carried a rough Florida State team the past two years. He’s a strong and tough runner who can go between the tackles but is even better as a receiver. Get him the ball in open space and let him do his thing, which is often making defenders look silly.
