If this was any other draft class, Florida State running back Dalvin Cook would probably be the top player at his position. Even though Cook is only the second-best running back in this class, he’s still talented enough to come in at No. 7 on the latest big board.

Production hasn’t been an issue for Cook this season. The Seminoles running back already has 1,642 total yards to go along with 14 total touchdowns in 10 games with no signs of slowing down.

Cook is the definition of a home-run hitter. He has the vision to find the hole and the top-end speed and burst to hit that hole with a full head of steam. The way he plays reminds me a lot of Chris Johnson during his early years with the Tennessee Titans.

It’s highly unlikely Cook is drafted this early, but whoever takes him could very well be finding their starting running back for the next five to 10 years.
