Seems elusive:

Huge reach IMO
Did jerry lock himself in the war room by himself and a bottle of jack again like in 2009?

 

[BigCatMonaco]

People want to hate.
The dude had more scrimmage yards than Alvin kamara did in college and pollard split time his entire career. And kamara was drafted 59 picks before pollard.



You’d be the same people ******** on that pick for New Orleans.

We needed a backup RB. So why not pick one who legitimately offers value even when zeke is on the field. Returning, and lining up wide and on special teams. Or you’d rather spend the pick on a straight RB who only gets 3 carries a game and offers nothing Else?

 

[Rayman70]

He is a stud NOT A GIMMICK PLAYER! Go watch his tape. He is also tough. This pick may be the best pick of the draft for us.

And the bench depth draft keeps on rolling lol

What year was it we drafted all depth and special teams players?

EXACTLY. . This player was a clean pick..maybe the best pick we have had this year.

Gimmick back good for 5 touches a game. Would be a good kick returner if kick returns were still a thing in the NFL.

He’s not a small scatback type, he’s got good size and strength.

 

[RamziD]

He ran a 4.3 at the Memphis pro day

He ran a 4.5 at the combine because he had food poisoning

Lol. Look at his clips. 4.3 speed jumps out at you. He doesn’t have 4.3 speed.

What starter were you hoping to pick up in the 4th?

This freakin’ fanbase, smh

 

[Rayman70]

give this guy a chance before you hate on him.

 

[cheftjpeck]

PFF had him as a 7th rounder, a few others as a UDFA. Maybe Dallas thought someone else wanted him?

Ok : thank you .
PFF has a public resentment to drafting rb’s ; it’s basically admitted and advised on every show ever broadcasted . But yeah it might’ve been a bit of a reach ... but won’t know until we know

 

[NickZepp]

This is probably the first pick I don't like. Trayveon Williams or Rodney Anderson would have been a better pick at running back. Kick returner was a pretty big need to fill though.

 

[mahoneybill]

Moore sees him as Kamara type back. 4.3 speed. Should be fun.

4.3 if true. He's a burner..... Nice to have

 

[Vinnie2u]

A lot of people complained that we drafted Anthony Hitchens way to early. He turned out to be a pretty good pick.

Maybe you’re just an Eagle fan downplaying any move Dallas makes.

this guy fills a dire need.

The year after we gave up a 1st and 3rd for Roy Williams. I believe only the kick drafted from USC was on the roster after year 3.

He's 30 pounds less than Zeke. Based on what Ive seen on him he was used like a scatback. We will see. I think it was a good upgrade to what we've had both running and receiving. Could be something special in the return game.

Hes not a backup RB. He is a gadget back and special teams play. Change of pace.

If the Cowboys wanted a legitimate backup, they would have taken a different guy. If Zeke goes down or gets suspended, this guy is NOT going to carry the load.
