My eyesight isn't what it was so admittedly I may have missed it, and if so, my apologies.
But I think he could easily go in th 4th or 5th round, and in theory I could see him here given Robinson's injury.
He probably will get drafted. The problem is that there is an over-abundance of really good RB's in this draft. A lot of extremely good runners are gonna go undrafted because of the supply vs. demand. I just ran out of teams with a need at the position. Even if he doesn't get drafted though, I could see him making a roster and being a contributor to an NFL team, if given the chance. There were several RB's I felt really bad about leaving out of this draft, but I just didn't have room.
That makes sense.
To me, this year, the sweet spot for RBs, especially for this team, is about the 4th to 5th round, and I'm from the old school of thought where I don't knock down RBs because they are RBs. I think there is a lot of quality depth at the position. I think anyone who needs help at the position can get it this year.

I've heard 2 different national pundits mention him as a potential Jags pick in the 5th round. One of them actually said "4th or 5th round."
That makes a lot of sense, especially given the depth at the position this year.

Personally, I have RB's I like a lot better, but to each their own.
I associate a power back with this team because Pederson had LeGarrette Blount on his Eagles team, and I could see him getting one this year, especially since Robinson and Etienne are trying to return from injury. I could see Brian Robinson or the kid from Notre Dame, the Florida kid and the two from Georgia as all good candidates *though I wouldn't categorize Cook as a power back, per se.
Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
