Chris Cook, CB, Virginia
Ht: 6’2” Wt: 212
EMQB’s analysis on the pick: The rumor was the Vikings coveted cornerback Patrick Robinson but Cook provides them with depth. The Vikings defensive backfield was ravaged with injury last season, and they were in dire need of help at that position.
Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Lanky, long-levered corner who fared well at the Senior Bowl and showed some explosion in drills at the Combine. Has safety size but is not aggressive or physical, so best chance in the pros will come at cornerback. His rare size in a league where receivers keep getting bigger will drive up his value.
NFL projection: Second- to third-round pick.
Lindy’s Sports scouting report: Cook’s strong senior seasons and solid week of practice at the Senor Bowl made him relevant with scouts. His long frame and quick hands make him an intriguing option for teams using press coverage and his range could convince coaches to try him at safety if he improves tackling in the open field. Has the size, speed and experience to surprise in the NFL.
