BurpleBull Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Not trying to being a downer, but doesn't he go down rather easily for a RB drafted this high? After speed and pass-catching, he doesn't have anything on Devin Singletary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be deadly on third downs and long yardage situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After speed and pass-catching, he doesn't have anything on Devin Singletary. They don't plan to use him as an RB much I assume. Probably a few toss sweeps or outside runs to the edge but mostly used as a weapon in the passing game where they can split him out wide and get an LB matched up on him... Probably envision using him similar to how Kamara is used in NO but with less runs. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 17 minutes ago, VW82 said: Because he played for Georgia. They have a run-focused offense and lots of weapons / mouths to feed. It's probably fair to question his lackluster college career production and wonder how his body will hold up due to his size, or whether he has the work ethic to truly excel. But the tape doesn't lie, and the fact he has a superstar brother currently killing it with the Vikings doesn't hurt. Fair enough. 👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cook just ran right by him and actually had to slow up and wait on the ball. I'd also add that this play isn't a fluke, either. He had one just like it against Michigan in the Orange Bowl.

Two different types of RBs This^^^ Cook is a, as said above, a hybrid RB/WR, with go to the house speed that no current on roster RB has, and he can do it from the hand off and the YAC, it’s not so hard to understand how he will be used. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 11 hours ago, BADOLBILZ said: There is a bit of a "needy" fill to this draft so far. Like maybe if Levi Wallace had been wearing different underwear and JD McKissic hadn't reneged they might have drafted 2 players at entirely different positions. If $7M worth of free agents changed your round 1 and 2 draft process......that's not a great sign. I like both players though. Cooks is the best RB in the pass game in this draft IMO. Dont mind the players but question the value and strategy. Beane basically admitted they drafted Cook for the role McKissic was going to have. I mean, his approach to the second round is incredibly frustrating. And he’s now drafted three running backs in for years with premium picks. Insane. 1 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Bills bias i guess since I am watching his highlights after we drafted him but my gut is liking him more than I liked Breece Hall highlights prior to the Jets drafting him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the idea in my mind. Split him out. If there is a linebacker on him, let him do his thing. If they use a DB, there is a mismatch elsewhere. If the team goes small in a dime package, shift Cook into the backfield and run the football. It’s essentially what the patriots have done with James White for a million years, except Cook is bigger, faster, stronger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would’ve preferred not to trade a fourth to move up two slots - let the board come to you and trade down if the value isn’t there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he had a QB whose strength isn’t throwing the ball. To think what he can do with Josh is fun. I bet we see some 2 back sets where Cook can motion out to a wideout/slot for a passing play or stay in and run it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) 5 hours ago, Doc Brown said: Something tells me you don't know the limitations of the BMI index. What's his body fat percentage? For example, Isaiah McKenzie has a 26.3 BMI and is considered overweight. His brother Dalvin's BMI is 30.1 and he's considered obese by that metric. You are correct. I was listening to a couple scouting reports and both mentioned this as a problem, but neither went into detail about it. It was late and I didn’t look into it any further. Til now. Looks like their problem with it is that he’s too skinny and will break. Apologies. Now get back to your regularly scheduled programming.
