2017 NFL Draft: Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey wants Dalvin Cook

Jacksonville Jaguars stud cornerback threw his endorsement behind Florida State running back Dalvin Cook in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Dalvin Cook certainly has the Jacksonville Jaguars’ interest. In fact, he has everyone’s interest.

In the 2017 NFL Draft there are only two running backs at the top of the conversation: Dalvin Cook and Leonard Fournette. While Fournette may be edging out Cook on the whole, if the Jaguars were to make Cook the fourth overall selection, he could be the first running back off the board.

That situation is exactly what stud Jags cornerback Jalen Ramsey would like to see, per The Florida Times-Union. While the Jags are keeping the team’s draft strategy secret (as they should), it wouldn’t be improbable for general manager David Caldwell and executive vice president for football operations Tom Coughlin to bring in a Florida State player with an early pick.

Both Caldwell and Coughlin have drafted a number of players from Florida schools with early picks. Ramsey (Florida State), Dante Fowler Jr. (Florida), and Blake Bortles (University of Central Florida) are all first-round selections from the past three years. Other players like all-time great running back Fred Taylor (Florida) and current linebacker Telvin Smith (Florida State) also came from in-state. Dipping back into that pool wouldn’t be uncommon for the team based on Caldwell and Coughlin’s track record.
