From what I have read in the sudden surge of RB threads...Cohen is a WR/Flanker/Gadget Player/QB/punt returner, but not much of a RB.But that's Tarik Cohen...

If he lasts to the third then he's a no brainer. Dude tore up the SEC, enough said.
Cohen should definitely feature more. I would give him 15-20 rushes/targets a game. I know there is concern about injuries but the dude knows how to avoid big hits. And if Nagy is hell bent on running more gap then it minimizes his shitty vision and desire to bounce everything outside as you direct him to a specific hole.
What the Bears need though is a RB with more all around ability ie can pass, catch and is sturdy enough to get 15-20 carries a game if necessary. The latter requirement is the issue with Cohen. I don't think his body can take 15-20 rushes if necessary.
Cohen led all non-QBs with 7 fumbles last year.
I see only 1 fumble receiving and 3 rushing so I presume the other 3 are in the return game. Something he needs to improve on but still think he should be getting 15-20 rushes/targets a game.
Yes...1+3+3 = 7. I can confirm this.
The point was you neglected to mention that which may have gave someone the impression all 7 fumbles were on offense.
Cool! 7 still equals 7. Cohen still led the NFL in fumbles by a non-QB.

What does his fumbles on special teams have to do with the below post you responded to?

Thanks for your off topic response to my post.
If he's anything like this scouting report...hard pass. https://thedraftnetwork.com/2018/12/28/2019-nfl-draft-player-profile-dexter-williams/
The elephant in the room is that it doesn't matter which RB is drafted if Trey Burton is not on the field!
I like how the only issue to you in regards to Cohen getting 15-20 rushes/targets is his durability, yet Cohen leading the NFL in number of punt returns while also returning kicks is "off topic". Cool!
You never said anything about Cohen leading the NFL in number of punt returns in your original post. You referenced fumbles that included special team fumbles.
