2017 NFL Mock Draft: Mad Rush At Start For Top Defenders

54. The job ahead for the Philadelphia Eagles has become an obvious one. They have to do everything in their power to put better weapons around Carson Wentz. Though the rookie has done lots of good things, it’s clear he can only do so much. His receivers tight ends and running backs all lack overall in the talent department. Somebody is needed to help ease the pressure on Wentz to make all the plays. Often the best way to do that is the running game. <p>Dalvin Cook has been a tremendous soldier through some tough seasons at Florida State. He understands how to just do his job and try to make plays. A workhorse who does the heavy lifting. That is what the Eagles want and the best part is Cook brings so much to the table. He’s not only an effective running back in the traditional sense, he’s also a major threat out of the backfield as a receiver. Doug Pederson will see plenty of Jamaal Charles in his game.</p>. RB.
