Jane Slater - It doesn't sound like Rico Dowdle will be back in Dallas

[baltcowboy]

The Raiders and Bears are the most likely.

Jets as well.

Take Vaughn with him.

Draft two running backs and fix this RB room.

Hampton or Jeanty in Rd 1. No way I would draft 2, no 4th round for us

Using a high pick on an RB is becoming more likely.

If they didn't learn their lesson from Zeke, they deserve what they get. I'm hoping they've done their homework on all the RBs.

Not sure how long you’ve been following the team but Zeke was a great pick. He had four 1000 yard seasons, including three over 1300 yards. He led the league in rushing his rookie year. He didn’t last long but that doesn’t make him a bad pick. Dez only had three real good seasons.

Don’t think they will

Defense can’t hold leads or prevent good teams from trashing them but all means let’s draft multiple running backs .

if you are drafting based on stopping someone in a passing league you are gonna not like what’s gonna happen.

Its kind of funny one player that overperformed and would have done even better if the most overrated player in our history wasn't taking some snaps (had to get that in) is like the one guy we don't entertain.

But i get it, seems like Williams will be a decent 3rd down back at least.

If we were close, okay. But this isn't a one year fix. Fix a couple of postions this off season. Then a couple more next off season. Maybe we can be somewhat competitive.

 

[Mr_437]

What if Rico ends up costing the same as Javonte? Would anybody want Dallas to re-sign Rico for that same money?

 

[RonWashington]

Maybe you’re right . I mean Williams sounds like a camp body signing like Royce Freeman was . Still need multiple positive yardage backs to install this new HC running team theory .

 

[BHendri5]

Good

 

[kskboys]

Meh.

 

[kskboys]

I am actually hoping that he will picked either 10th or 11th to save ourselves from Jones repeating a Zeke mistake.

Completely different player, not to be compared.

Completely different player, not to be compared.

By what criteria can anyone determine that? Did Jeanty benefit by playing for Boise State against lesser competition? I would have preferred if he had 600-700 yards less but did it against the likes of Georgia, Alabama, and Texas. He may be a great talent, but I can't justify a 12th pick on a RB that has already accumulated a significant number of carries before getting to the NFL. Rather select a WR or CB that will likely play through a second contract rather someone who will be gassed after his rookie contract expires.
