2. Dalvin Cook, Florida State (5-11, 215) — Film Grade: 84.5

Quick Take: Cook is an electric runner who can make an impact in both phases of the offense. He explodes through the line and his short area burst is second to none in this class. A few occasional drops and some ball security issues have hurt his overall grade. However, Cook runs hard, and his ability to accelerate through the hole or bounce the run to the outside and turn the corner for a big gain makes him a special back.

Traits: 1. Athletic Ability (10/10)  2. Speed (10/10)  3. Power (7/10)  4. Burst (10/10)  5. Vision (9/10)  6. Impact/Production (10/10)  7. Yards After Contact (8/10)  8. Route Running (4/5)  9. Hands (3.5/5)  10. Pass Protection (3.5/5)  11. Ball Security (5/10)  12. Toughness/Physicality (5/5)
