Here's a concise list of everything Cook has done in terms of red flags.
2009: Robbery
2010: Firing a weapon
2014: Criminal mischief, mistreating puppies, and aggravated assault (not charged)

I'm not trying to say Mixon isn't a bad person for what he did, but people should also be very against Dalvin Cook. And don't give me the "Cook's weren't nearly as bad as Mixon's incidents!" excuse, as that's all based on who you ask. If you're ok with drafting Cook in Round 1 or 2, you should be ok with drafting Mixon early. And the same goes for if you are so against Mixon, you should also be very against Dalvin Cook.

Many of the "draft gurus" are reporting that teams are much more comfortable with Mixon's off field issues vs. Cook.  

I know Mixon gets the press, but I wouldn't be surprised if Cook falls to the end of the first round due to some of this stuff coupled with his workouts being less than what was expected.
