So it's possible one or both is available to us with the 41st pick.
If both were available, which one would you take?

Off the field issues not withstanding, I like Cook as the best all-purpose back. He does all RB duties well, run inside or outside, good receiver, blocking ability.
I had the chance to listen to him on a recent radio interview, he talked about studying LBs and the way they move, their tendencies, and how to adjust his running style to beat them.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Joe Mixon has fewer red flags than Cook, plus there is belief by many that Mixon is actually the better RB (at least for the NFL).
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 this team drafts Mixon I will 100% be done with this team. You can delete this account. An absolutely disgusting human being.
A man who does that to a woman ain't no man. He ought to be taken out back and put down. **** that piece of shit and **** anyone who makes excuses for him.

I bet you won't....
And as for me, Mixon. But I'd be pretty happy with cook too.

Id prefer cook...but think both are good. After cook and mixon i think there is a big drop off to kamara and an even bigger drop off after kamara. If cook or mixon gets taken before we pick we need to trade up to grab the other one.

I'd prefer cook. Have a feeling though that if one gets drafted before us the other will as well because teams will panic.

I said Mixon only because I think he may be the best back in this draft and because Cook has a weakness in pass protection and fumbles way too much for my liking.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.

Both are very talented players. Cook has more red flags but Mixon has a huge one. I think both of them will continue to find trouble for themselves once in the NFL so I'd pass on both. That said if I have to choose I'd go with Cook as his issues are less offensive and wouldn't make me want to vomit if he was on the team.

Cook's a better player. Both are pretty questionable human beings.
If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.

I am in 1000% agreement with this. Keeping Pacman is bad enough, but Mixon would be too much.

Cook, would be the pick for me between the two. Neither has a good record off the field, but with the Public display of hitting a woman that is not the best PR for the Bengals. Mixon as a player yes, but overall Cook. Basically what I am saying is More Cancer or Less Cancer. I will go with Less Cancer?
