If you believe the long-term expectation, reported here, shouldn’t there be an argument for him going 1.01?
I wouldn’t do that myself but then I haven’t seen an article so high on him, until now.
Thanks Shane, in fairness that does align closer with your comparison of him to Miles Sanders.
I simply do not get the hype. Too light to be an every down back, not enough volume to be more than low end RB2 IF he can get enough carries to go with the catches. Cook also does not look the part to get goal line carries & like Baltimore the QB scores a lot of rushing TD’s.
I think it’s far more likely he sees ~130 total touches… though if he were to maintain his college production (rushing/receiving avgs) I think it’s plausible he could come close to 1K total yards with 6-9 total TDs. That’s my very non-professional guesstimate. Think: Nyheim Hines with a bit more running game involvement.
I think his ADP is more of a testament to how thin the draft gets in 2022 after the first 8 picks. If he was at the 2.03 or 2.04, we’re all probably taking that. Love the analysis, Shane! We should always be taking explosive players from big programs on explosive teams, especially at RB. Zack Moss had 97 carries in about 12 games so 130 carries is more than reasonable, especially with Allen running less. I’m actually rising on Cook if he’s at 1.11 or 1 12 and there is certainly a world where he is better than Watson, Moore and Dotson though I would probably still take one of them based on longevity. I really think this draft is trade out or just go get your guy and have fun.
It seems like the O prob has a plan for this role now, after missing out on JDMck. Bills seem like a team to try new offensive wrinkles. I’m open to that possibility and therefore 1.9-12 range is apt
