2017 NFL Mock Draft: New Orleans Saints Select RB Dalvin Cook at No. 32

With the 32nd pick in the 2017 DBN Community NFL Mock Draft, the New Orleans Saints select...

Dalvin Cook, RB, Florida State

The selection and write-up were made by troy145:

I think I'll get some grief for this pick for being a homer, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've ever selected a Florida State player in my years of participating in the community mock. Dalvin Cook is just too good to pass up this late in the draft. Mark Ingram is a good, dependable RB. Dalvin Cook is a special, electric gamebreaker. I would've taken McCaffrey had he been available here as well given my faith in New Orleans' ability to make creative use of his talent, but I think that Cook can be used just as creatively.

With the Saints taking Jonathan Allen with the eleventh pick, I felt that the Saints' top need had been addressed. From here a CB would also be tempting but I think New Orleans can still get a talented corner prospect later in the draft - I don't believe they'll be able to get a truly special, game changing offensive star later in the draft.

Pokorny: The Saints might be a lost cause. Drew Brees is at the tail end of his career, and I attribute the majority of their offensive success to him. Their defense remains a constant liability and although Jonathan Allen was selected earlier in the first round by them, I think they should take someone else on that side of the ball. The Saints have already tapped the first-round running back pick too many times with Reggie Bush, and Mark Ingram.

The Cleveland Browns are up next, led by Ike5.
