Here are scouting reports on Duke Johnson, Ameer Abdullah and Jay Ajayi in relation to how they would fit for the Dallas Cowboys:

"Of the three running backs we are comparing today, (Ajayi) is the one I feel most comfortable in giving a big workload in year one of his rookie year. Just speaking in terms of the Dallas Cowboys, I think he is the best scheme fit for the team. Why? Because I think he can do a little bit of everything and I love the scheme fit. More specifically, I love the balance and lower body power a lot"

Good takes...I like Ajayi big time in our scheme but he might not be there by the 3rd or 4th round. (we obviously wouldn't take him before that) Secondly, I like Jeremy Langford of Michigan State. He's a little smaller, but faster than Ajayi. Third for me would be Cobb of Minnesota. He's a bruiser that runs hard
 
1. Ajayi
2. Johnson
3. A bunch of other backs
4. Abdullah
 
Out of those three, I think Jay would be best for us. This draft is loaded with backs, IMO.
 
Duke. Ultra productive & plays faster than he timed in the combine but most importantly he would have best chance to be a seamless fit for our O as he played behind a similar blocking scheme in Miami.

Why do you think we wouldnt take him before that
 
If we don't get Gurley or Gordon then I have no interest in a RB in this draft at all.
Either pick one of the elite runners or add another stud to that offensive line .
 
It depends on what we're looking to do. If we're wanting a situational back Johnson or Abdullah seem like someone that could be very interesting. If we're wanting an every down guy Ajayi seems like a more likely choice. If we don't sign Murray I wouldn't be surprised to see us draft two backs, one early and one later. I just don't think you can trust Randle any more.
 
Wow can't believe you guys don't like Abdullah that much...That dude looks like he floats across the field. Look at his combine workouts...1st in 3 cone drill, 1st in broad and vertical jumps, 1st in 20 yard shuttle, and 4th highest amount of reps. He has elite quickness and explosion between the tackles and has the ability to reverse fields in the blink of an eye. I can't comment on the fumbles because I haven't seen enough of his fumbles to comment on how much of a problem they are or aren't.

He is good in the open field and will make DBs miss but I want a complete back if we draft one in the first 3 rds.

Abdullah. Why he is not liked here?

I really like him too, but....He fumbled a lot and has small hands. Think he fumbled 1 out of 36 carries in college if I remember correctly. Lead all running backs.

What's not complete about Abdullah?

That's what I'm not getting. He was very productive at a big school for three years in a row as a complete back.

Fumble issues, I'll grant you. But this 'complete back' stuff is garbage. The guy is very good between the tackles.

Certainly better there than Murray appeared to be from college tape.
