Ron Stewart on James Cook

Video7 Players Skyrocketing Up My Draft Board This MonthJuly 15, 2026

From the video

if James Cook could challenge for 50-plus catches, 60-plus catches, he can all of the sudden, in this offense, with this offensive line, with this touchdown upside, go toe-to-toe with guys like Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson, who are getting picked at the 1.01 and the 1.02.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

With Joe Brady now head coach and Pete Carmichael (who elevated receiving backs like Darren Sproles, Pierre Thomas, Mark Ingram, and Alvin Kamara) as offensive coordinator, James Cook could challenge for 50-60+ catches and compete with 1.01-1.02 backs like Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson.
