Going into the 2017 offseason I don't think you could find a single individual who valued Cook more highly then Bennett. Cook was faster but Bennett a much better blocker and more reliable overall. Ya, Bennett turned out to be a huge douche. Shit happens...and it's why TT/MM probably feel stronger about signing their own guys then guys off the market.
