Went early; overdrafted relative to value.

James Cook went early in Hartitz's second mock draft, which Hartitz characterizes as 'a little bit wild,' suggesting the running back is being overdrafted relative to his value. Hartitz also notes that Ray Davis serves as Cook's handcuff and is positioned as an attractive late-round stash option if Cook gets injured.
