If Fournette is there at #9, the Bengals Take Him

Fournette
YPC with good run blocking: 8.7
YPC with poor run blocking: 4.6

Cook
YPC with good run blocking: 7.5
YPC with poor run blocking: 5.9

How they measure good vs. poor run blocking is an unknown, but thought it would be interesting to throw this out there given the current state of our OL.

Maybe from point of first contact or something?  Anyway, just from casual observation, this is what I have seen as the biggest difference between the two....and a lot of running behind a FB from Fournette.  With our awful run blocking over the last decade plus, I'd go with Cook if I went RB.
