17. Philadelphia Eagles (via MIN)

player. 54. Part of the reason Andy Reid had so much success in Philadelphia and again in Kansas City was because his offenses could run the football. It always made life easier on the quarterbacks. Doug Pederson, a Reid disciple understands this better than anybody. Thus far he’s manufactured some yards on the ground but not enough to reduce the heat on rookie QB Carson Wentz. If that’s going to change, they need somebody who can give them more explosiveness and reliability. <p>Dalvin Cook was nothing but those things at Florida State. Every time the Seminoles got into trouble, it seemed like Cook was the one pulling them out of the fire. He would deliver a first down or more often than not a long touchdown to flip momentum. He is a true versatile weapon in that he strong and tough enough to run 20-30 times a game but also has the speed and hands to catch passes out of the backfield. </p>. RB. Florida State. Dalvin Cook . 17
