2017 NFL Draft: Best Offensive Players Available On Day 2
By Erik Lambert
Running Back:
Dalvin Cook (Florida State) – There is a secret war going on over just what the true is about the character of Florida State runner Cook. Some believe he’s a big problem given his arrest record. Others swear by his work ethic and dedication to the team. One thing that can’t be argued is he’s a gifted back. He’s got speed, quick, agility and vision that made him a home run hitter whenever he touched the ball. Another Jamaal Charles-type that can do a ton for an offense.
Joe Mixon (Oklahoma) – An even more polarizing runner than Cook. Mixon is a big, athletic back who has that coveted skill set of being strong enough to shed tackles but fast enough to turn eight-yard runs into 80-yard runs. The problem? He has multiple incidents in his recent history involving violent confrontations with women including an ugly video. There is a chance he could be a star in the league, but also be another tragic story of self-destruction too.
