If we’re talking about offensive playmakers, Florida State’s Dalvin Cook is a better pro prospect than any quarterback in this year’s class, even if he’s not the best running back.

Facing a stacked box, Cook continues to make huge plays for the Seminoles. Over the past three games, Cook has put up an absurd 557 yards on the ground while adding 197 receiving yards and six total touchdowns.

One running back that reminds me a lot of the Florida State star is a young Chris Johnson. During his time with the Tennessee Titans, CJ2K would explode through a rushing lane and take off for a huge game. Cook has that similar skill set with the vision, acceleration and top-end speed to take any run to the house.

In any other year, Cook would easily be the best running back in this class, so no one will be criticizing an NFL team for taking the Florida State prospect in the first round.
