I trust in Ramsey.  I value his opinion.  And think he is very smart.  And based on him and Smith.  So far,  Both have been exceptional players. So I have no problem with Cook at 4.  The off the field issues.  According to fisher and others.  All Cook was doing was defusing the situation. That is not a character concern. 

 

Ramsey also said Cook has strong toughness and leadership skills.  Plus add in fact he can go deep a play or two and catch the ball.  He can find holes when isn't one.  He can bounce off defenders like a ping pong ball.  He has broken FSU running back records.  

 

Cook is a duel threat rb.  Which we have not had a very good catching back.  That also could hit holes. Cook has great vision and lit up Michigan.  If you look at the last game vs the majority of last year.  With our O line. Grant was successful where the bigger backs were not.  So shows Cook could be successful with our current line. 

 

Jalen said, "Cook rushed for over 200 yards and two tds with both a Hammy injury and shoulder one."  That is a guy who can help Blake and is in Coughlin mold. Cook is very team first.  And is off a successful program.  That two of our biggest defensive stars excel at. So why not take the chance. 

 

Richardson was also a bigger guy and ended up a first round bust.  Toby was a bust as a Free Agent.  I have an issue with taking a guy at 4 that is bigger with nothing else. Out of the the Three regardless of reasons why.  Cook not only played his bowl game , but excelled at it.  Cook did not miss the combine nor his pro day.  And didn't sit out anything. 

 

Ramsey would know more than any of us. And he did not have to be there.  But he believes in Cook.  So maybe we should too. Besides Cook lit up many teams.    And did really well against top teams. And can be lined up in any formation from Shotgun to under center and excel as a running back.
