I will be taking Fournette at 1, Mixon at 3 (owner of 2 is going rb so i'm betting he'll take Cook), leftover of Davis/Williams/Mccaffrey at 6.

In standard scoring I prefer Mixon over Cook, How do you know the owner of the #2 pick will pick Cook?

I'm assuming he will. I tried to move from 3 to his 2 spot but he said he wasn't trading it because he needed one of the top two backs. Knowing the owner I highly doubt he'll take Mixon. I have a shot of still landing Davis/Williams at 6 with 4 leaning Williams and a desperate need at WR, and I won't be shocked if owner 5 takes Mcaffrey as he always takes a back in the 1st round.

I have 1.01 and as of now taking fournette, pretty easy choice, he seems to have the highest upside of the 3 backs and I always try and get the biggest return on my gamble so unless something changes drastically after the draft, like anyone on the Jets, my choice in fournette

If Cook slides in the draft and Mixon is picked in the 2nd round, I think that will solidify my picks of Fournette and Mixon. If Cook is still picked in the top 15 and Mixon slides to the 4th round or later, I will be on the fence again and not sure who I'll be picking.
You'll know who to draft after you see where each guy is drafted and their depth charts. I don't think you can really go wrong with any of the 3, but destinations can solidify the pecking order.
if you believe , and it isn't without some merit, that he is as talented as zeke then even depth chart/destination wouldn't matter unless he ended up in dallas pittsburgh or arizona as he would quickly scale any other depth chart and be the guy .
If I am drafting for a team that has plenty of rb talent I take mixon as if he is the true 1:1 he is worth it and I have some depth and can wait a bit . If I needed a guy asap then lenny , cook then mixon . He will get drafted but the media crush due to the cafe incident could wear anyone out and lead to tons of distractions causing loss of focus or even for a contending to keep him out of the limelight a bit early on in his career .
His risk lies in two areas , one in a repeated off the field lapse where he will have a shorter leash than most players and two the media scrutiny may envelope the kid if his new team doesn't buffer some of the backlash.
I would like to know where the legions of SJW have gone that as recently as christmas were saying he would go undrafted and never play a down in the league they seem to have scurried off to their deepest bunkers lately.

If you go Mixon at 2 then there is a chance the next two picks would be Cook and Williams/Davis, leaving you the remaining WR at 5.

So it sounds better to still take Cook at t
1.02. And grab what is leftover from Davis, Williams and Mixon.

I have this same dilemma as I also own the 1.01, 1.02 and 1.05. Right now I'm fairly confident I'll take fournette at 1.01, then it's up to my choice of Cook/Davis/Mixon. I know the guy at 1.03 wan't Davis and I could use some WR depth. The guy at 1.04 needs RB help.

I could see this playing out a few ways but In the end it looks like I'm most likely picking Williams at 1.05 unless the owner of the 1.04 likes Williams more than Cook/Mixon which I don't think many do.

if Mixon lands in Indy and Fournette or Cook land in less appealing spots, maybe Mixon can climb to 1.01 in rookie drafts? Otherwise I see him being 3rd option. I am hoping he is available at 1.06 in my draft if Mike Williams has a killer pro day and drafted high.

Assuming you don't have a glaring need at any one position, If I had the 1.01, 1.02 & 1.05 I'd go Fournette, Mixon first. Taking Mixon before Cook would almost surely force someone to take him at 3 or 4 leaving a top WR at 1.05. Unless you need 2 WR's, it doesn't get much prettier than that.

Traded up for the 1.04 hoping he falls to me there. I got Elliot last year and would love that pair at RB. Landing spot will have a lot to do with it. I live in Tally and Cook has been great and despite the combine I think he will be a good all around back and great in ppr formats. I figured at 4 I get one of the top rb's.

I do think Mixon is the best talent and if a team takes him high in the draft I'd take him 1.01. Where he gets drafted will tell the story on how teams view him.

Judging by the poll results and Corey Davis love - the 1.04 spot may be the best place to target and get the steal of all steals in Cook.

funny on all the non cook love when fournette the one the did not play in the bowl game for draft prep reasons but he did not do all the drills@ the combine lol and cook getting knock for doing the drills at the combine (i am aware not a good showing) but are u sure fournette would have tested well is the ? just saying .......based on 3 year production cook has shown the most consistency and have gotten stronger YOY
