I like the first few rounds in particular.   Hopefully Cook's fumbling issues stay in Tallahassee.  But he and Fournett are as talented as anything that's come along since Gordon. I might be inclined to include McCaffrey in there as well, but I'm not sure on his measurables.

I like Cook, because his body style is that of an all-purpose back.  When he is in the game, the playbook is not limited, and there are no tip offs to the defense that it's a run between the tackles, or likely going to be a passing play, etc.

I like Williams at DE, not only because of his footwork/moves as a pass rusher, but he is thick and wide framed, meaning that he can move inside as a DT as well.

I like Elflein because he is a naturally aggressive run blocker.  He was a bona fide All-American at RG, and took to the Center position like a fish to water.  He's a guy that could step right in at RG, should the Bengals be hell-bent on keeping Bodine around to live out his contract, and fail to sign Zeitler to an extension.

Probably my favorite "value" pick of this mock is Michael Roberts, the TE from Toledo.  Not only did he catch 16 TDs in a high scoring UT offense, his thick body makes for an excellent in-line and down field blocker.  He's sort of a throwback to the traditional style of TE.
