Drafted by Cowboys 6th round - Pick 212- RB Duece Vaughn (Kansas State)

[chagus]

This is the pick we all needed to see happen. Awesome!

 

[Zekeats]

He reminds of Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, Adrian Peterson, and Christian McCaffery all in one player

You forgot Jerome Bettis

Baldy chiming in...

RIght...

Never been easier for a guy like him to survive and thrive in this league than it is right now. Guys used to get killed when Dunn was in the league.

It hasn’t gotten any easier for RBs they still don’t last very long. We’ll see how it plays out in training camp with him.

 

[KJJ]

Because they gave it to him in short yardage situations.

They did because he was effective. If we don’t cover the bases with a short yardage back who can move the chains and punch it into the endzone it could lead to real trouble during the season.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Is he the son of a former player?

Yes troy aikman

The UFA FB we got may just be that guy...Ronald Jones has been highly effective at it as well.

 

[Ken]

Damn...ya he can't play in the league lol

I don't know why I love this pick. The little ankle breaker is quick. Good luck locating him out of the backfield.

So quick the video looks like it's on X2 when he's running. Him and Mazi are my favorite picks.

And once he breaks out even DBs are not catching him

 

[CowboyRoy]

I absolutely LOVE this kid. Will they know how to use him?

Ronald Jones is a downgrade over Zeke and he’s really not that big. He put up 70 yards last season with one TD.

He only played in 6 games. He is 5 ft 11 in and weighs 205 lb and was the 38th pick just 5 years ago. He has only 505 career rushing attempts meaning he has tons more tread left than Zeke.

I'd give him the ball any time over Zeke. We've all seen how much he has slowed, burst is gone and vision isn't there.

 

[big dog cowboy]

LOVE that!!!!!!!!

If there is 4" of daylight, Duece Vaughn is going to find it. You tell them Baldy!

Let the little water spider get the ball and dance around the pond,
Let the little bugger go

Howd he pan out?

Man, you are working really hard to prove something. No one here is saying he’s going to be a great RB. We just think he was the best back available, and we believe any guy with that much success against big time competition can compete with anyone. We will all see if he can maneuver in the NFL soon enough. No need to poo poo the guy before that.

Love the guy. But they could have knocked it out of the park by just getting a tough runner like Evans or Roschon.

Pollard, Evans, Deuce. Would have been unreal!!!

Ronald Jones didn’t pan out as the 38th overall pick five years ago. The Cowboys are his third team. I don’t care how much tread he has he’s a downgrade over Zeke who was still very effective moving the chains and punching it in the endzone.

Roschon...the guy is a huge JAG.

I did not want him...at all. This guy is so much better than RJ will ever be.

Evans was nice but apparently character issue...

 

[KJJ]

Ronald Jones may or may not be that guy we don’t know. He hasn’t had a very impressive career up to this point the Cowboys are his third team.

Ok, fair enough. Do you have confidence that the coaches will carve out a nice role for deuce? Do you think he will be more than a special teams return guy?

Pollard, Evans, Deuce. Would have been unreal!!!

rumor...just a rumor...radio guys think that maybe they were debating between texas RB and LB but chose the LB.
Who knows.

Evans had character issue red flags and that is why he fell so far to begin with.

I wanted Israel from Pitt
