Drool all you want, this RB is a master, tackle-breaking machine, with speed to take it to the house

Dramatically overrated. Warren, Egbuka, Burden, Barron, Grant would be a much better picks. Taking RBs early is fools gold, I'd have though the Zeke experience would've taught Cowboy fans that much.
Give us your top 12.

I just gave you like half of it. Or at least guys who might be available. Given that some of them like Carter, Hunter and Graham are beyond our reach, or are QBs, hadn't really thought about the top of the draft.

Jeanty is for sure higher than 12 in this draft.

Just about everybody has him as top 6 in this draft class.
Never draft a RB in the 1st.

Consensus Big Board aggregator has him 12th. I hope he's already gone so that's one less thing the clowns can mess up.

He is the 2nd best player in this draft class and if he fell, no chance the Cowboys would pass on the value. As a prospect, he belongs with a Robinson and is ahead of Gibbs, in my opinion.
What RB does Jeanty most compared to ... ?

Josh Jacobs ? ... i don't seem him as big & powerful as Derrick Henry.

All of our Super Bowl winning teams had a 1st round running back. Currently, Lions, Eagles, and Packers have a 1st round running back.

I’m fine with picking Jeanty but for a team that sucks as bad as we do I’d rather get a RB in round 2.

This class is absolutely loaded with stud RBs.

He’s more like a Ray Rice or Mercedes Lewis to me.

Short, compact, great vision, hard to bring down.

1st…It’s not the 90’s anymore

And…

The Lions are the only team that drafted the RB in the 1st though.

Eagles, Packers, and Ravens all signed RB’s as the final piece to an already good team. The Titans, Giants and Raiders are the teams that drafted those RB’s and they are all terrible and have won nothing with those RB’s.

And you can go up and down every playoff roster…all free agents or 2nd round pick or later at RB. The Lions are the exception (and that was a year where they had 2 1st’s), successful teams don’t draft RB’s in the 1st round.

I think he is similar to Robinson on the Falcons, as they are both are excellent at breaking tackles.

You're making my point for me. Picking up someone else's 1st round running back for nothing more than cash should be enough evidence for you that you don't need to draft one. The 2 best backs in the league were free agents 10 months ago.

Look at OSU's Henderson just now. Generally regarded as a 2nd or 3rd round player. No need to go after that in the 1st.

Henderson is playing his way to being the second back drafted behind Jeanty and Jerry is watching. I think he is faster than Jeanty. Remember after his freshman season, Henderson was supposed to be a superstar back.

Yeah I’ve had him as my RB 2 for awhile now.

He’s a walking Touchdown.

A more physical Gibbs.
