Ron Stewart on James Cook

VideoA $2000 Draft (Josh Jacobs Update)August 31, 2026

From the video

You win Cook, Walker, McBride... I would prefer the one hole to get Gibbs and then if not I probably want to position myself in the top nine to get one of like James Cook, Aman RA or JSN

Elite RB target in top nine; part of winning zero RB build from pick 12

Cook was selected as part of a winning zero RB roster construction from the 12th pick in a two-receiver, one-flex league, paired with Kenneth Walker and Trey McBride to establish early running back depth while prioritizing wide receivers and tight end premium value. Ron Stewart also identified Cook as one of the elite running backs he wants to position himself to acquire in the top nine of a 14-team league if he doesn't secure Gibbs at the one hole.
