How long do we wait to draft a RB?

[Coogiguy03]

If Hampton is gone, we can wait until round 3. I don't even like Henderson. He looks slow. Game speed that is.

One guy I was just put on to was the guy from SMU or RJ harvey, one of those guys has a MEAN juke step!

 

[Coogiguy03]

Knowing the incompetence of this front office, they’ll convince themselves they can wait until the 5th to get “value” only to be wiped out and not draft a back at all.

They sure love to talk about value!! lol They find value in picking up dirt and washing it out of their hands!

You're probably talking about Harvey. Small quick guy. We already have a guy like that on the roster.

The guy from SMU, I don't even see him listed in the top 5 rounds according to the big board I'm looking at.

Depends on how committed Jerrah and co are to building an effective run game.

I'm not going to fart around waiting to see what RBs fall to us in the 2nd and 3rd round. I'm taking Hampton at 12 and crossing the RB problems off my list.
And then I just may pull the trigger on another RB in round 5.

totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't take the chance on losing one

 

[cowboyec]

i hope they don't wait to long.
they could stretch it to the 5th if they wanted...maybe 6th.
but i hope we get one in the 2nd or 3rd.
its still a major need regardless of the f/a moves.

For the record, I firmly believe a RB round 1 is a waste when you can get above average starter later and pick a starter at another position in round 1.

RBs are everywhere nowadays.

Not on the Cowboys. You're not getting an above average starter after round 3. You're going to be surprised on how fast RBs are going to go off the board in this draft.

If we trade down and get one i'd be happier with that

The Cowboys kind of screwed themselves by what they did in free agency. They have to draft a running back in the second round.

That's what we said 12 months ago.

 

[big dog cowboy]

If jeanty is there I’m taking him. People want to talk about the Zeke pick… the zeke pick was successful.

The 4th pick of the draft makes impact plays thru their 2nd contract.

Zeke did not. He declined each year. That was an unsuccessful pick.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Heck get two mid rounders and run them like crazy I say.

Two.average players don't equal a good player.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Don't draft any rbs resign zeke again lol

You know the Cowboys never learn their lesson.

 

[ScotsCowboy]

I'm guessing much later than they should have. I would predict 6th round and they check off that "need".

I'm very much in favor of drafting two serious RBs. What I mean is neither one is a "specialist" used for certain types of plays or just some big blocking back.

I want two RBs that are capable of competing for the starting position. In my opinion, this is where the Cowboys have the weakest position on their roster and it has been that way for years.

The highest ranking the Cowboys have received in rushing yards over the previous 4 seasons is 14th and that is a disgrace. A strong running has always been a part of the Cowboys identity from the very beginning.

NFL football has changed over the years but it hasn't changed over the weeks. I saw what I saw in January.

I strongly believe that the Cowboys will do a little trading and won't be shut out in the 4th round. Therefore it would be relevant for me to say that I want 2 RB's drafted in the first 4 rounds.

This has been done before. In 2008 the Cowboys drafted Felix Jones in the 1st round and Tashard Choice in the 4th.

And throw in a few monsters for the O-line in the 6th and 7th rounds.

Hard agree; some options for competing backs with complementary styles (presuming we trade to get a 4th):

2nd: Henderson
4th: Harvey

2nd: Sampson
3rd/4th: Blue

Not on the Cowboys. You're not getting an above average starter after round 3. You're going to be surprised on how fast RBs are going to go off the board in this draft.

It's something I'd be willing to risk. I'm trying to look 2-3 years down the road...not one.

I can see them going in many directions. And I'll just have to trust they did more homework than I did. I'm just an armchair "scout" AKA year-round fan.

 

[Pass2Run]

Don't draft any rbs resign zeke again lol

Sign him for one day so they can finally stick the fork in him.

I personally believe Zeke partied away at least a couple good years.

WR round 1
DT round 2
RB round 3
