The Official 2017 NFL Draft Thread

Fournette's injury history and the versatility of Cook to me is the difference. Fournette gets into the endzone more in short yardage, and runs over nikkas, but Cook receives better, he's a better pass blocker and he runs better to the outside.

Two types of backs, but Cook is one of those guys whose playstyle lends itself better to a long career.

Sounds stupid in theory and we won't do it, but I'd be tempted as fukk to draft him in round 2, cut Yeldon AND Ivory, and there's your new thunder and lighting

Well in this RB situation we have now we can use Yeldon as our finesse back and insert him in passing situations, Fournette as a workhorse back, and possibly Ivory as the 3rd down back assuming we keep them all.

In this 2nd round I want an offensive lineman.

Former Florida State running back Dalvin Cook is expected to become a first round pick on Thursday night despite the efforts of one man according to a Sports Illustrated report.

A "runner" who helps NFL scouts identify players has been spreading rumors that Cook has multiple off-field issues trying to get his stock to drop.

"The MMQB spoke with representatives from nine NFL teams on the topic of Cook, and two scouts independently cited the same man as the source of several unverified Cook rumors," The report stated.

"This man isn’t a certified agent, but a 'runner,' a sort of industry free agent who helps certified agents recruit players during the draft process."

Because of those rumors, Cook's draft status has dipped over the past few weeks as the draft nears. It even caused some scouts to take him off their board. One scout even compared Cook's off the field issues to that of former Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon, who was caught on camera striking a woman.

Ok

It's what he does. He's only doing that because he's an eagle fan. From other draft profiles, they list exactly what you said.

Dalvin Cook and the Stories Behind the Red Flags | The MMQB with Peter King

“I see a kid from inner-city Miami-Dade tearing up the field, and you’re expecting this cocky kid to walk in,” Villani says, “but he’s almost too humble and quiet. I’m sitting here trying to show Dalvin Cook how to put his foot in the ground and cut and do all these things, and he’s all about it.

“I loved him. When the top guy works as hard as he does, he makes your whole group better.”

To Villani’s surprise, after the Senior Bowl he started getting calls from scouts and coaches suggesting the opposite. He was told that an agent had started a rumor at the all-star game: Cook was showing up to workouts late—if he came at all—that he’d arrived with alcohol on his breath on occasion, and with unsavory characters from the neighborhood in tow.

“I told these guys, You know me, you know I’m not going to lie to you… you’ve got it wrong,” Villani says. “It got to the point where I felt I had to go to Dalvin’s agent and tell him about what people were saying.”

can't run between the tackles for 16 games, he's more versatile, but you need a hammer, Cam has to run between tackles to much for tough yards.

This is pretty ugly looking for Deshaun

Chicago traded up to pick a guy that nobody really knows, let's break his tape down. Deshaun's college career is certified! We will see what happens when these dudes start playing.

Seattle has 6 picks today

they better get that O line together

A young brother can't even hang with his Day 1 homies without getting red flagged and blackballed from the NFL draft yet a 25 year old cac OT from Utah can get drafted in the 1st round after getting kicked out 5 times from everywhere he went plus actually have a well documented history of aggressive wreckless behavior.
