From the episode

I had him at like the the reason for mine in the draft guide and such is because I like James Cook more...I just had James Cook rank like like most rankings had Taylor over Cook and I had Cook over Taylor.

Mentioned at 55:00 – 57:00

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Zachariason preferred Cook over Taylor in draft rankings; still strong RB option.

JJ Zachariason ranked James Cook ahead of Jonathan Taylor entering the season, contrary to most consensus rankings that had Taylor over Cook. Zachariason still has Kenneth Walker ranked ahead of Jonathan Taylor rest of season, suggesting Cook remains in a strong position in the first-round running back tier.
