31. Green Bay Packers
player. 49. The Packers have made due at running back this past season by converting Ty Montgomery to the position, but it’s hardly a permanent fix. Eddie Lacy continues to suffer injury and conditioning problems. Aaron Rodgers may be the best in the business but teams find it hard to win championships without a consistent rushing attack. What Green Bay really needs is a back who fits their pass-first offense better than Lacy did. <p>Enter Dalvin Cook. The Florida State star is built in a similar fashion to Jamaal Charles and Chris Johnson. He’s undersized but makes up for it with speed, quickness, acceleration and agility. People continue to underrate his toughness as well. He’s shown his body can handle high loads of carries and still be that home run threat late in games. He’ll be an ideal fit for that Packers offense, adding yet another receiving weapon for Rodgers.</p>. OLB. Florida State. Dalvin Cook . 31
