Best chance in years to grab a top RB

[Q_the_man]

How often do the Cowboys have a chance at the top RB in the draft.

I say hardly ever. Once again we can always get a DE or CB in the draft or FA (though we may overpay) but if you don't draft a pro bowl type RB it will be hard to grab one in FA or late in the draft that you can depend on.

Zeke has it all, Zeke can play all 3 downs, Zeke can catch out the back field, Zeke is a great blocker, Zeke has no injury history ala McFadden and Matthews. Morris is a good pickup, I like him but only as a backup.

Zeke behind this line does 2 things we can really use.

1- Zeke can block (reminds me of Emmitt and how Emmitt protected Aikman on blitzes)
2- Zeke can wear down a defense which in turn keeps our offense on the field and the defense staying fresh.

I have no doubt the Cowboys will draft Zeke, well they better. Ramsey is maybe the only other player I want at #4 but to maximize our great OL and to protect Romo let's put a RB 6-1 225, runs a 4.4 behind them

Hmm.

No.

And there have been a 1,000 posts why they will not draft him at #4.

Last year was actually the first time in 5 years that we didnt have a chance at the top HB in the draft.

Dallas usually has a realistic chance to draft the top RB every year. Some years there isn't one taken until the second round.

Pretty sure we have a shot at the top ranked punter, kicker, and long snapper. Might be able to snatch all three before another team has a chance!

Sweet. Another Zeke thread.

i bet not many remember the 1977 NFL Draft, that was the year we traded our #14th pick and 3 second rounders to move up to #2 (Seattle) and select Tony Dorsett. what a feeling it was to know you got Tony Dorsett.

It's actually much easier to get a quality RB then it is to get a CB or DE. Usually much cheaper too.

Can we just get a Zeke Zone Forum?

From where. I guess you're calling McFadden and Morris quality backs then....

Well, at least we aren't banking the season on Randle this year. "But hey, did you catch his YPC the year before !!!!!!!" --- right..................................dumbest move ever.


ohhh wait. Forgot about the RW (wr) trade.....

okay, second dumbest move ever!

Draft.

Free agency.

The Super Bowl winning Broncos don't have a Top 5 drafted, elite TB on their team.

From rotoworld:

"TFY Draft Insider's Tony Pauline reports the 49ers and Cowboys are interested in trading for Ryan Mathews if the Eagles make him available."

IF this is a true report I highly doubt we would consider Zeke at #4. I think you are looking at either Ramsey or Bosa unless someone wants to trade up.

I'm not telling you anything, I'm asking you a question. To me it's easier to get a quality CB or DE in the draft or FA then to grab a high end RB that's considered by many to be the best back to come out of college since Peterson. Their will be 30 CBs and DEs drafted within the first 4 rounds but only like 6 RBs therefore it seems we can get a CB or DE at any time but not a RB, I mean a quality RB

DeMarco Murray. 3rd round pick 71 6th RB selected overall. ALL PRO

But they had a top 3 Defense if not #1, and a HOF QB though he wasn't great, Manning did not make any mistakes to cost them the game... Every team has their own identity. every team doesn't have a Ware, Miller, Talib, Jackson, Ward on the same defense. Denver does not have the OL we have either therefore we need to play a different game...

What if Dallas in the 90s said lets copy the 49ers west coast offense (since that was the thing at the time we drafted Aikaman) and instead of drafting Aikman we draft someone totally different. All I'm saying is draft Zeke, everyone here has their own personal choice and I choose Zeke.

 

[StarBoyz83]

They'll get one in the 3-5 rounds.
