Ron Stewart on James Cook

From the video

I was taking James Cook over him early in the offseason. So now I'm kind of trying to reverse course on that... if you're at like the 111 and you don't really see a difference between like James Cook, Genty, and like say Squan... what he was like a 18 point per game scorer last year, you get that at the the back half of the the first round. That's a pretty solid outcome.

STACKED’s take

NeutralValue

Declining preference vs. Genty, but still solid 18 PPG value in mid-rounds.

The source was taking James Cook over Ashen Genty early in the offseason but is now reversing course, indicating declining relative preference. However, at pick 111, Cook is grouped in the same tier as Genty and other running backs; the source notes Cook was an 18-point-per-game scorer last year at the back half of the first round, representing solid value with potential upside if he increases pass-catching volume.
