Cowboys 'Like' Texas RB Roschon Johnson in NFL Draft - But What Round?

[Hardline]

NFL Draft prospect Bijan Robinson? The Cowboys are big fans. But what do they think about his Longhorns sidekick, the less-heralded Roschon Johnson?

Whatever team gets him in the draft this year is locking in one of the steals of the draft. The only reason why his name doesn’t get brought up as much as other RBs is because Bijan is a generational RB. I watched a lot of Roschon and he’s great

All teams like him. The question is how much (what round)?

I'll put the over/under at R4-1...

Sweet spot will be at 90 to draft a back, should be several, quality #2 backs to choose from.

 

[RS12]

In play at 90 I believe

 

[AsthmaField]

Meh

I'm a huge lifelong Longhorns fan.

I would not draft Roschon Johnson. He's an ex-QB, and it shows in his runs. For a player his size, he doesn't have the strength or toughness to convert short yardage run attempts and is on the slow end for a RB.

There are probably about 15 other backs that I’d rather have from this draft. JMO

A lifelong Longhorns fan who didn’t watch any games? That’s all he basically did was get the tough yards for us or when we needed a little spark.

I think he’s definitely in the conversation at #90, but not at #58.

 

[Mr_437]

In a different draft class maybe, but Dallas should be looking at better RBs because there's plenty imo.

Over - I think somewhere in the 4th round.

Yeah, no. Alabama is one of the best programs that looks like an average NFL team. Roschon Johnson was horrible against Alabama. 5 carries, 16 yards, 3.2 ypc. He actually played poorly against teams with better Defenses like Texas Tech, West Virginia and TCU. He's very average.

i think you take him in the 2nd.

 

[Vegas_Cowboy]

That would be an underwhelming pick considering how deep of a RB class this is.

 

[cnuball21]

I’m a big fan and think he goes in the 3/4th.

His 10 yards split was the same as Bijans and he’s like 220. Good compliment to TP. a we

 

[Pass2Run]

4 or 5.
