What's the chance Dalvin reunites with Jameis in Tampa?

Dalvin should go in the 20s in the draft. If Jameis has anything to say about it, he will make sure the Bucs brass know that Dalvin is legit. Martin's deal makes zero difference in the scenario. It really depends on who is available when the Bucs draft. You go for the best player, regardless of need (except QB). Ideally, you want best player and need to be the same, but if you draft need and miss out on best player, you are a fired GM soon after.
I can't see Cook going top 15 but it could happen. Late 1st or second is more probable. I'd be tickled if the Giants got him.
The bucs really need speed at wr. I'd like to see the bucs pick up one of the speedy WRs up for contract renewal and then also pick Dalvin. I really Dalvin would be perfect for koetters system. Right not they use a back for running and a back for passing. Dalvin does both.
I've yet to see a mock that has him falling below Green Bay in the first and have seen one having him taken as early as Carolina.
Right but there will be a lot of changes to mock drafts. A lot depends on Fournette's health.
To me, Fournette seems to be the typical SEC straight ahead back that does not flourish in the NFL. Most would argue that the best back currently in the NFL is LeVeon Bell. Cook's style is much more like him than Fournette.
Will all depend on where they end up. Eg. Elliot looks great behind Dallas' OL. If he ended up at #3 SD or #5 Jacksonville, I doubt his pick would be praised right now. Odds are those teams would be getting killed for taking a RB in the top 5.
hes going top 15! hes either the first or sec rb taken. if he falls past 15, i would be shocked.
Fournette is very agile for his size but the injuries have to be a concern to teams. I think Cook is the best pure athlete and catches the ball well. It will depend on the type of offense that wants this type of back. Also have to factor in Cook is a very poor blocker.
The Giants are actually a perfect fit offense for his skill set. There are others as well but being a fan I hope that he gets drafted there and it's a reasonable spot to get pciked.
BTW there are people that fall all the time and RB is a prime candidate for that to happen. Just because a player is rated highly doesn't mean it would be a shock to fall. There's a long way to go in this process.
Fournette is more of the "battering ram" type of player, the type that doesn't last
a long time in the NFL. Remember your Physics lesson: Stationary objects push
back with the same force as that exerted against it. Cook is build lower to the
ground and is better at letting his blockers clear a path for him. This saves years
of wear and tear on those knees. Cook is also a good receiver and is very good
with the ball after the catch. Not seen this attribute in Fournette's game to any great degree.
If I were doing the choosing I would have to opt for Dalvin. He is a better bet for the long run.
"AND HERE COMES FOURNETTE!"
