I just think James Cook, who led the league in rushing yards last year... I think he has a great combination of floor and ceiling

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Cook is a high-floor, high-ceiling value pick in the first round

James Cook is identified as a strong value pick in the first round, particularly if available around pick nine or later. The source notes his high floor and ceiling, suggesting that with new offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael, his role in the passing game could expand, further increasing his fantasy potential.
