4th rounder.
seems like a lot to move up 7 picks in what is supposedly a deep draft
Oh well, I guess we'll only take 1 OL bust in the 4th this year

Was Mixon still available? Maybe they thought both of them would be gone by the time they picked. Plus, they had an extra 4th rounder.

•Cook is the ninth-ranked player in PFF’s top 300 prospects of 2017.
•Cook averaged 4.2 yards after contact per attempt last season, second-highest among halfbacks in this draft class.
•Cook’s 88.8 overall grade last season was second-best among halfbacks.
•He led the FBS in elusive rating last season, breaking 99 tackles.
PFF's #1 Rated RB. And he ran behind a crappy O-line so he will feel right at home!

Philly needs a RB too, so that could have been landing spot we didnt move up

Yep. that's why it seemed a bit odd to me. there were still 3 RBs that Mayock called "1st round talent" on the board and there hasn't been a RB taken since. So why pay to move up?
I guess they really fell in love with Cook.
Don't get me wrong, I like Cook and would have been really really happy had they got him @ 48

I seen a tweet from a media member with Cook and Murray they are under 5m. Upgrade, by a lot, from last season IMO

I love this pick. And why are people talking about the 4th round already? You forget we have two 3rd rounders coming up and one is pretty early with a gang of offensive linemen still available. Only three have been taken at the time of me typing this out i think

We better start drafting OL. At least 3 or 4
