Who are you hoping for? It better be one of these 3. After doing so well due to our oline and run game, we will need a solid RB in the backfield to be at the same level we were last year.

Gurley or Gordon, need youth to be served.

Gurley...

My only hesitation with him is the knee injury and not being available for the beginning of the year. Hopefully, Mcfadden is a stop gap until Gurley is ready to go.

Gurley will be long gone by 27. Watch for Coleman or Ajayi in round 2.

Keep in mind....

Of the top 10 rushers last year, only one was a first-round pick.

We already have solid RB's and will probably draft another one in the middle rounds.

If Gurley is there at 27, you HAVE to take him, you don't even think about it.

But he will not be there, he is waiting a bit until more recovered then he will show teams how his is recovering and there will be a team that takes him way before27.

I really wish AP would get traded to to another team that isn't Dallas today so some folks could finally get over it already.


It's possible Gurley and Gordon are both gone by the time Dallas drafts in the 1st round. If so, Coleman could very well be gone by the time they're up in the 2nd round, but if he's not, I think he has the potential to meet their needs well. There's a lot of talented backs in the draft, but if you want a 3-down guy that can take on a pass rusher long enough to buy his QB an extra second, the list shrinks.

I would love to get Gurley. I could see him going on the PUP to start the season and then being a big contributor by the end of the season and possibly in the playoffs.

I think the likelihood of Gurley being available at 27 is better than most think. Lots of RBs changed teams this year. It seems like teams ahead of us are getting their backs...or have other needs.

Few RBs have gone in round one lately. One coming off an ACL injury isn't likely to go in the top 20.

I like Melvin Gordon.

The Cowboys do not. Neither do a lot of teams.

He's an outside runner only, and that doesn't play well in the NFL.

What Ohio State did to him may be a precursor to his NFL career. Perhaps a good 3rd down back.

Dallas will be selecting a running back in this draft but I don't think it will be in the first round..

Gurley.

As has been mentioned, we have a stable of backs to use should he need to heal. But imagine bringing him in by the middle of the season? He'd be a terror.

I personally felt Georgia brought him back too son from his suspension. He wasn't in football condition, and they force fed him too much.

I don't think the Cowboys make the same mistake. And I believe Gurley is a better back than Murray. Talk about someone who can carry the load and take pressure off Romo!

I'm officially boarding the G-Train. :)

I wouldn't complain if we spent a 1st on Gordon, he'd be amazing behind our line, sure hope McFadden isn't our solution at RB
