I hope somewhere in this draft we can pick up a really good OL player. We have a pretty good line now and we need to beef it up.

I'd be ok with Cook. If Mahomes is still on the board it would be a tough choice though.

Cook would be a miserably awful pick. No surplus value and a guy who is, by almost every account, a monumental dickbag.

You can find people saying he has more character concerns than Joe Mixon. Y'know, the guy that flat out knocked a girl out cold.

There's virtually no financial upside and do you realize that his SPARQ score is only slightly better than Lane Johnson's (an offensive tackle) because his broad jump was terrible and his vertical jump was terrible (both of which are excellent measures of initial burst/explosion) and worse still, his 3-cone time was among the worst of any RB as was his 20 yard shuffle.

This guy tested like absolute shit. He has character concerns all over him. He's at a positional that is less valuable in the league right now than a friggen guard as evidenced by the fact that pro-bowl RBs can be had for around $3 million/season on a short term deal.

Dalvin Cook is a terrible selection and honestly, I don't think I'd even take him with our 2nd.

Make him a white guy with no dreds and you'd think he was Toby Gerhart. Same number of reps on the bench, much better explosion testing, absolutely wrecks cook in both the shuttle and the 3-cone. His 4.53 40 time was even comparable to Cooks 4.49.

Cook is a bad athlete for a runningback; I don't see how this keeps getting overlooked.

People are letting a guys visual similarities blind them to the fact that this guy couldn't hold Jamaal Charles jock. He's nowhere near the athlete Charles was. The agility, the balance and the explosion just isn't there.

But you wanted Mark sanchez so this probably means Cook will be awesome.

The only thing this guy has in common with JC is the hair. Their running style is nowhere near the same, and the speed isn't even close.

The guy has a highlight reel of bursting through massive holes and being dragged down from behind. He has a few impressive runs but as DJ pointed out, his SPARQ was absolute garbage.

Dorsey is a SPARQ guy, so Cook won't be a Chief.

Teams will strike gold with either of these two running backs
This is a debate between Dalvin Cook and Christian McCaffrey. Cook is one of the most complete running backs to come through the draft in a long time, while McCaffrey has the explosive, big-play ability. The Stanford product runs it between the tackles, contributes in the screen gam and plays the slot as a receiver. All of this makes him a dangerous player in the right offense. Both of these players can contribute on an NFL team in Week 1.

Talent-wise, Dalvin Cook tops my draft board -- even above Garrett
Even before Myles Garrett, the best prospect in this draft class is Dalvin Cook. Many players will go before Cook because of his off-the-field concerns, but he's a sure-fire talent. If you move everything aside and look purely at football talent, he might be the No. 1 player off the board.

Heath Evans is the single dumbest person on this entire planet of Earth.

His endorsement of Cook should be all that any of you need to hate that pick.

A RB with lineman athleticism and Evans says he's a #1 overall player. What a moron.

It's because if you watch him play that test goes out the window at no point in his career that did Cook ever looked like he lacked explosion or speed or bust. The guy literally dominated everyone he played, made a ton of big plays and was a factor in the pass game.

I wanted Sanchez instead of Cassel. I was still right.

You still pine for Johnny Manziel, which is pure insanity.

I've also never heard that Cook is a dick bag I've heard he hangs out with some undesirables but not that he was a dick.

Manziels not done. Browns wrecked him but he escaped. Chapter II coming soon.

A person's sphere of influence absolutely matters. The company you keep says a lot about a person. And yes, i've read that he has some character concerns as well.

I've been watching Cook since HS and I agree with this.

What about Alvin Kamara?
