I still like Cook, but maybe not the best value pick for the Bengals in the top 10. RB is one of those positions where you can find sleepers in the middle, or even late rounds that have the body and skill set to produce in the NFL. After seeing the numbers on the "top" backs, as well as following their college careers, I'm not convinced that the Bengals should take any back at #9. Plenty of quality backs throughout the draft. For example, the late round sleeper that just jumped (literally) onto the radar is Joe Williams from Utah.
Fournette's concerns to me are the ankle and the fact he is a gap scheme runner only at this point.
Cook's are definately his off the field issues. Could be right and neither are the best value for us at 9.
Love that you brought up Joe Williams, dude is a freak. He literally carried his team on his back late last year and just
simply took over games, he has amazing balance, athleticism, speed and can catch the ball out of the backfield. The
only concern about him to me was that he retired for a time last year and i still do not know what that was all about.
To get Joe in the mid rounds would make me ecstatic and would be the best for this team rather than a RB at 9.
