12. Cleveland Browns: RB, Dalvin Cook

(from Philadelphia Eagles)

I think every Louisville football fan will appreciate that their Cardinals will never have to face Dalvin Cook ever again. Cook was one of the best running backs in college football, but never got an invitation to the Heisman Trophy ceremony, which is just crazy.

Take a look at what Pro Football Focus had to say about Cook in their Mock Draft:

"“The Browns do not pass up the opportunity to add another game-changer to the roster as Cook’s big-play ability is as good as it gets in the draft. The play here is to grab one of the second-round-worthy quarterbacks either at the top of the round or perhaps by trading back into round one to secure their spot (Patrick Mahomes of Texas Tech is a viable option). Adding Cook to the offense brings a player capable of scoring any time he touches the ball as he’s capable of sneaking through the slightest crease to create a big play. Cook also showed capable of maximizing subpar blocking in 2016, leading the nation with 90 missed tackles forced and averaging 4.2 yards after contact per rush.”"

You know what they say, all good things must come to an end, especially if you get drafted by the Cleveland Browns. It doesn’t really matter what position you play, going to Cleveland is the worst possible scenario for anybody. Hopefully Cook can dodge the Browns and end up in Indianapolis.
