Former FSU football star running back Dalvin Cook was bypassed by a lot of teams Thursday night. Should they have passed on the best back in the NFL Draft?
There were 32 selections made on Thursday night, and Dalvin Cook wasn’t one of them? How was this even possible?
He was the best running back in the NFL Draft and two running backs were selected in the first eight picks of the draft!
What?
Leonard Fournette was taken No. 4 by the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Christian McCaffrey was taken No. 8 by the Carolina Panthers.
The Panthers pick was God awful in my opinion.

Dalvin Cook is still on the board? Maybe he should have skipped the bowl game.

DALVIN COOK IS BETTER THAN FOURNETTE AND MCCAFFREY
For Garrett Bolles it's a redemption story, for Dalvin Cook its character issues... interesting.

Immediate reaction: Dalvin Cook is the best RB in this draft. And he is now, at best, the third one chosen.

Thoughts
Absolutely unbelievable that Dalvin Cook wasn’t selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. There were less talented players and players with “character issues” selected ahead of him too.
He’ll likely be taken in the second round and hopefully he’ll goto a good team that will allow him to punish every single team that passed on the chance to take him.
