He still managed to get himself in trouble numerous times in college and interviewed poorly. If your company keeps getting in trouble in your presence, why will that suddenly stop when you have money? He comes across well in the article, sure, but the character stuff isn't imaginary, and it isn't JUST the product of some jilted saboteur.

Interviewed poorly? I've heard the exact opposite. And besides the accusation he was acquitted of there isn't much else there in college
If we sign Blount and team him with Perkins and Vereen,
then I see no reason to draft a RB in an round. BPA be damned, there will be other "roughly equally rated" players we can choose from that fill a need.
In this draft. Has the most natural running ability of the top backs and can do it all. Can run inside,outside,run pass patterns and catch the ball well,block. Obviously he is not a boy scout but I would pick him at #23.
We sometimes forget the environment some of these kids come from. That said, he seems to just make poor decisions. Whatever team takes him needs to have a plan. Would the NYC area be the best place for him?

I talked with an acquaintance that knows him. His problem is he still hangs with his buddies in Miami that have run ins with the law - believe that is what Dave TE was talking about. This fellows says Cook is a good kid, but loyal to the kids from his old neighborhood.
So getting him out of Miami would likely be a good thing.
He also heard that the 3 shoulder surgeries are the thing that the teams are questioning - bigger concern.

That's coming from the article, itself a puff piece advocating on his behalf.
No matter what, inside the red zone, your running backs are a perfect option. In the last two years, Blount leads the NFL in TD runs inside the 5-yard marker, including 13 last seasons. He's a short yardage specialist, one whose motto might be - coach, you need me to get you 2 yards, I get you two yards. You need me to get you four yards, I get you two yards. Doesn't matter how you do it, pretty or not, those six points are six points
