For months, Florida State running back Dalvin Cook has been the object of many Eagles fans' desire.
There has been plenty of debate -- and there will be plenty more -- about whether or not it's worth taking a running back in the middle of the first round. There's even more debate about whether or not Cook or Christian McCaffrey are worth those picks.
But it seems like the Eagles are at least somewhat interested.
Cook was on 94WIP with Chris Carlin and Ike Reese on Wednesday afternoon and was asked about his interactions with the Eagles thus far.
"I visited with them, worked out with them and everything is going smooth, man," Cook said. "They've been showing heavy interest in me and I loved the city when I went there, so everything's good."
Cook said he would offer a strong 1-2 punch with former No. 2 pick Carson Wentz.
"Coach Duce (Staley), we got to spend a lot of time together, kind of hit the city a little bit," Cook said. "I met everybody. It's a great organization, great people. I think the program is on the rise, just need a couple more guys to fill in and help the program. I like the organization overall and the people that's in the building."

The Eagles value versatility in their running backs and Cook has that. Along with being able to run the ball, he also has the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, which is something for which the Eagles always look. The one area he admitted needs the most improvement is pass protection, but he said that's just a matter of "will" and getting with the right coaches.
With the versatility Cook offers, he compared himself to a former Pro Bowl player who played in the Doug Pederson/Andy Reid offense: Jamaal Charles.
"I always say Jamaal when he was healthy," Cook said. "I'm looking forward to him coming back, having a big year. But when Jamaal Charles is healthy, you know, I've watched a lot of tape on him because the tendency of how they use him out of the backfield."
Cook, as every player at every position often says, thinks he's the best running back in the class. That is heavily disputed by many experts, who have put Leonard Fournette and, at times, McCaffrey ahead of him.
A big question mark surrounding Cook is his character, which is riddled with past offenses. On the show Wednesday, he vowed that those troubles are behind him and said he's been trying to convey that to NFL teams.
How would he sell himself?
"First off, I'm a winner, man," he said. "I'm going to come in Day 1, no matter if I'm young or not, I'm going to be a leader. I'm going to show my teammates, I'm going to represent my teammates in the right way. I'm going to represent the organization in the right way in the community. And just broaden my horizons. Like I said, they invested a lot of money into me and they're going to get what they expect to."
