Mel Kiper Believes Dalvin Cook Will Fall Into The 2nd Round

Interesting....  But it's Mel "the hairdoo" Kiper....

That being said: while we fans have a lot of fun playing the mock draft games, and the pundits get to spend millions of key strokes and hours on camera yapping about the draft; we are useless spectators.

It's the football guys who make the choices and understand players to a degree we'll never really know.  I enjoy it as a fan, but realize I'm a complete tool when it comes to knowing how these guys project and become successful NFL players.

But, it would be crazy if Cook did fall into the 2nd.  He was a top 10 pick before the draft because he's a match up guy.

They got no running back either. Idk what they are gonna do, but if Cook is there no way I see them passing him up.

Me either.  But Cook and his thug entourage seem like a weird fit in Green Bay, Wisconsin.  Might actually weed out the crew and be good for him though, I dunno.

No idea how the Panthers feel about him.

I wouldn't mind picking him up at 40 . He's not a power back but seems pretty damn explosive, fast, catches well. If the Panthers organization does their homework on him and believe he's the back of the future then by all means.

His player comparison on the NFL page is Edgerrin James ...

I wouldnt take him unless it was like the 5th round. There's multiple reports out there that say he's a gang banger with a drinking problem. I'd say he's completely off the Panthers board.

If this is true I guess I'd agree . But right now its hearsay unless there's credible sources for that news.

    • I mean, I wouldn't classify him as elite, but he is good. Are you arguing that he's JAG? There aren't many elite pass rushers in the league today in my opinion. Carter and Thibodeuax don't seem to be. I mean, come on. Sometimes rushers get to the QB, sometimes they don't. Sometimes injuries slow a player down. I haven't seen Hutchinson enough, but he just got paid like an elite pass rushers, and we all know that Parsons is. Who else is really elite? Crosby and Watt can rain terror, at times.  Hendrickson is good, but a Johnny-come-lately. Other guys seem to be on the same level as Burns. The days of Pep or Reggie White have been gone. 
    • With Canales I'm not nearly as concerned about his mismanagement of the RB situation (which you could argue is being overblown to a degree yes) as I am with how woefully inept he is at preparing coaching and managing his team on gamedays against opponents and their coaching staffs with winning records. The team has been blown off the field too many times under his watch now. But I will concede that even if we fire him we will just end up with another figurehead of sorts. It's plainly obvious or at least it should be that our ownership is still meddling and pulling strings.
    • It's definitely not but what he and Darnold and now Jones are all doing does show that if you have a guy who checks a lot of the prerequisite boxes putting them in the right situation can make all the difference. The problem for the folks wanting to apply this logic to Bryce is that little "checks a lot of the prerequisite boxes" issue.
