Opinion: Buffalo Bills find their receiving back in James Cook

After taking care of their top need with their last remaining first-round prospect, the Buffalo Bills seemed to have run out of second-round prospects when pick 57 came up. They traded down not once, but twice, picking up two sixth-round picks before drafting Georgia running back James Cook 63rd overall.

Who is Cook? Brother of Dalvin Cook, he shares the same loose hips and top-gear speed as his brother, the Minnesota Vikings star. Unlike Dalvin, who was a bell cow at Florida State, James spent his whole Georgia career as a change-of-pace back behind more famous names like De’Andre Swift and Zamir White.
