#2 at RB.




You are high if you think Cook is a better RB prospect than LF7. Fournette is just as fast and can do everything laterally that Cook can do but can also run through defenders. This is why LF7 is special. "He's better than I was", Herschel Walker on Fournette.

I think Gurley's success helps LF7s stock. A big, physical bell cow type RB is still extremely valuable. He'll be a top 5 pick.

We're gonna see Cameron call a lot more passing plays where Lf and Guice are the primary receivers imo.

the college and pro games are different.

Besides, I'm not an NFL fan so I don't really care where our guys are ranked for the NFL draft. Of course I'd like for our guys to succeed in the NFL, but I've got no emotional connection to the NFL like I do for college.

I still see him as the best NFL prospect this year, and if this was 10 years ago he would have went #1 overall.

not different enough to where an Adrian Peterson type back isn't still a unicorn. There have been plenty of players like Cooks throughout the years. Players with the LF7 package come around once, MAYBE twice a decade.

Fournette is top 3 regardless of age or position. I think if we can open up the offense more for him this year that'll be pretty unanimous with another stellar season

Tabor plays defense and his "tackling needs major work" … how's he #3 with that comment?

None of this really matters. Lots can happen between now and next April. Its going to depend on the draft order and which teams feel is a higher priority for them. Trades may shuffle the order but the top 10 will likely still be the top 10 but who goes first, fifth or eighth will vary with each forecast between now and the draft.
