STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Cook is a top-4 overall pick with massive workload and TD upside.

The source ranks James Cook as high as number four overall, citing his role as the primary ball carrier, his league-leading rushing performance last year, and expected increased involvement in the passing game. The source believes his touchdown potential is even higher this year as Josh Allen's rushing volume potentially decreases.
