Still, it was a concerning weekend for a back considered a potential first-round pick. According to 3 Sigma Athlete's Zach Whitman, no running back who tested as a sub-10th-percentile SPARQ athlete has been drafted in the first round in the last 17 years.

I...would take Dalvin Cook in the 2nd round. Flame away.

I really don't get your infatuation with Cook? There are possibly10 RB's in the draft who could have better NFL careers and still be drafted later than Cook.

With all the needs on defense the Colts cannot draft a RB earlier than the 3rd round. They just can't.
