Dalvin Cook, HB
While last year the big debate was who should go first, Jared Goff or Carson Wentz, this year that decision is at running back. This class is loaded at the position and the Jets have a heck of a decision to make.
While Fournette has shown a higher ceiling in some regards, Cook has been captain consistency. Throughout his three seasons at Florida State, he has reached the 1,000-yard plateau every season. While his last two seasons have been nearly identical from a statistical standpoint.
If the Jets got some consistency in the run game that would parlay the effect of not having a viable starting quarterback. Although you can only marginalize/mask the deficiencies of poor quarterback play for so long.
These are both capable backs that could make immediate impacts on the field for the Jets. The only question will revovle around Mike Maccagnan’s willingness to take a running back, a devalued position, this high in the draft.
