From the video

I'll be moving James Cook ahead. I'm going to move him to the top of his tier ahead of Ashton Genty. Probably as high as like the 109 overall.

Cook is a rising target, potentially worth a top-10 pick

Ron Stewart is increasingly bullish on James Cook, moving him to the top of his tier ahead of Ashton Genty and potentially as high as the 1.09 overall pick. Cook plays in the second-highest projected offense, and his path to legendary upside involves increasing his target share; he averaged 3.7 targets per game after Joe Brady took over play-calling from Week 11 onwards.
