Dalvin Cook . 13. player. 59. Just because the two losses ended up being narrow doesn’t cover up the fact that the Miami Dolphins are in a bad way. As usual they have some intriguing talent on both offense and defense. Also as usual, they can string four solid quarters together. They fell apart late in Seattle and then got going too late in New England. Head coach Adam Gase also has some glaring roster holes to think about.
<p>None were more evident than at running back. It’s becoming easier to see why the team was scrambling so much to find a quality option in the off-season. They failed to bring back Lamar Miller then couldn’t sign C.J. Anderson. At last they brought in Arian Foster out of desperation and that hasn’t worked out. Until Gase can find a credible presence at that position, his offense won’t function.</p>
<p>So it shouldn’t be a surprise that they take advantage of what is a loaded 2017 draft class. Seeing Fournette go a few picks earlier probably stung, but they don’t grieve for long. Dalvin Cook has proven himself every bit the dependable stallion a team can ride every week. He’s tough, strong, runs hard and breaks big gains if given a window. Throw in a pair of solid hands for receiving and he never has to come off the field.</p>. RB. Florida State
