NFL Draft prospect Bijan Robinson? The Cowboys are big fans. But what do they think about his Longhorns sidekick, the less-heralded Roschon Johnson?

Whatever team gets him in the draft this year is locking in one of the steals of the draft. The only reason why his name doesn’t get brought up as much as other RBs is because Bijan is a generational RB. I watched a lot of Roschon and he’s great
Prefer Charbonnet.

I'm a huge lifelong Longhorns fan.

I would not draft Roschon Johnson. He's an ex-QB, and it shows in his runs. For a player his size, he doesn't have the strength or toughness to convert short yardage run attempts and is on the slow end for a RB.
Everytime Bijan was in the Longhorns would score at least a FG, everytime Roschon was in they would punt!

Charbonnet is kind of the perfect back for us.

Roschon I think should go in the 4th round at best. Likely 5th round.

There is upside but why would you take a player like him any higher than that?
Charbonnet gives us flexibility in the Pollard negotiations as well. Which I like.

Charbonnet is a complete NFL style back. I agree. Better NFL back than college.

Don’t sleep on Deuce Vaughn late. I know he’s small, but his dad Chris is on the Cowboys scouting team
I can’t wait to see how he turns out in the NFL.

Dude is a baller.

My only issue is, I don’t see how he fits here.

Pollard is the 1, Jones is the 2, Davis is the 3.

He really won’t knock off Jones because Jones is the bigger back. With Turpin on returns he won’t see much action there. However, he’s a guy you find a spot for
