There's no doubt that RB is a big crapshoot, but if you can get speed with good size/durability (and get it young and cheap) it's hard to pass that up. Cook has a LT/Shady body type. The potential there is greater, i think, for the offense.
I think there was a devaluation of RBs recently, simply because there was a shortage of really good ones, compared to WRs and TEs.
Agreed. Fun fact: '13 and '14 (when Gio and Hill were selected) were the only years since the merger that no RBs were taken in the first round. In the 2 years since, things have gone back to normal with Elliott, Gurley and Melvin Gordon all being taken in the top 15 picks.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
