With all being said is it really worth it to sign Dalvin Cook? Or should the Miami Dolphins pivot to a RB in the draft that is hungry and could take the game over.

Let’s not forget RB Isaiah Pacheco was a key piece to the Kansas City Chiefs SuperBowl run. And he was a 7th round rookie.

Should the Miami Dolphins sign Dalvin Cook? Let me know in the comments.
