He's definitely not my favorite prospect and I would much rather have Fournette if we go RB in the first, but I don't think he is the worst possible option either.
It seems his hype has been slowing down a little bit lately and I rarely hear his name.

I have heard Cook could fall into the 2nd, I am interested at 9 in the 2nd. One concern though, one scout said Cooks red flags are actually far worse the Mixon's he just hasn't been caught on camera doing them. Major concerns about who is in his entourage.

I loved him playing for my Noles, but I'm not sure he's what we need to compliment Gio.

Personally, I want a pass catcher (John Ross, OJ Howard, or Corey Davis specifically) in Rd 1 and pass rusher in Rd 2 unless Solomon Thomas is there.
I hope the Bengals wait until the third round or later for a RB and I hope that RB does not have character red flags like Cook or Mixon.
I hope for Hunt, Perine, McNichols, or Jamaal Williams in the middle rounds. All solid but not spectacular RBs that should be productive and fit this offense (similar to Burkhead).
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

If we take Cook he'd be the 2nd RB from Miami Central High School to suit up for the Bengals.
Who knows the first?

Gio's coming back from injury. We'll take a RB in the first 2 rounds. We're bringing in alot of 2nd and 3rd tier WRs. Have Williams, Davis, or Ross been to Cincy?
Today I'm TEAM SEWELL. Tomorrow TEAM PITTS. Maybe TEAM CHASE. I can't decide, and glad I don't have to.

They were known to have met with Williams at the combine, and it was rumored they met with Ross and Davis, as well, but it was as said that they were a lot more secretive with who they met with than in years past.

Speaking of Miami Central rb's....Joseph Yearby would be a sneaky late rounder. But just read he ran a slow 40 at pro day. Looks fast in games to me. Can't believe him and Dalvin Cook were in the same High School backfield

Elvis Peacock. TBH, I had no idea that he ever played for the Bengals.

Got nothing against him but sure hope the Bengals do not take a RB in the first round.
Think there are much bigger needs (trenches) and there will be decent RB's later.

I was for picking Dalvin Cook at 9 before knowing about his problems. To me he is the best RB in this draft, even
better than Fournette and Mixon. He is better than both at making Defenders miss. If he is around i would love him
with our 2nd pick. Gamebreaker at RB. Gio hasn't been the same since taking that cheap shot in the Playoffs and
now he is coming off of injury. Hill thinks he is a scat back.
So many ways this draft could go but we need a pass rusher, so this would be my pick if we already took one.

i like your idea of
1. O.J. Howard
2. Mixon
but rd 3 id' like one of the top Centers, Either Pocic or Eiflein.....
but they both may be off the board by our 3rd rd pick#73...
in that case i'd like DE Tarell Basham from Ohio @ #73

I think that would be a little to offense heavy for how we operate.,cant say i would hate it though.
1-Howard
2-mixon
3-elflien
4-basham

i agree the first 3 picks all on the "O" side of the ball...probably won't happen....probably shouldn't too w/ the need for a pass rusher...
but seems a DE at 9 is less likely at the draft nears imo....
i'm beginning to think it's going to be WR Williams at 9 now....& if Mixon is there in rd #2 I see him in stripes....
so @ rds 3 & 4 we may go back to back DE....I know we just traded for the DE from the jags but still.....
