NFL Mock Draft 2017: Watson & Kizer Go in Top 5 Picks

No. 8 Carolina Panthers: RB Dalvin Cook


School: Florida State


Position: Running Back


Class: Junior


Outlook: One of the Panthers big needs heading into the off-season is to address the running back. This is the draft to fill that need with the quality of running backs in this draft class. Cook gives the Panthers a back that can be involved in both the run and pass game. He rushed for over 1,000 yards in each of his three seasons at Florida State including 1,765 yards along with 19 touchdowns last season. He also had 488 receiving yards in 2016. There are questions surrounding Cook's durability and history of shoulder injuries. He seemed to pass the initial set of questions at the Combine. (Getty)
