Who do you guys like better & why?

Personally I like both guys potential but they both have holes in their game.

I think both guys can compliment Barber well because they can do more with less.

I think its an interesting debate and it seems like Mosley has an "inside source" telling him its going to be either F. Jones or J Stewart @ 22.

Personally I like CJ a little better because I see more potential there and hes better between the tackles.

Neither. I'd probably take Johnson of the two, though.

And by the way, where do you get that Mosley thinks it'll either be Jones or Stewart?

Which one is more suited to handle quick screen passes?

I believe that one would be the better fit

Also which one is better at picking up the blitzes, cause he'll need to protect Romo if he wants to stay in the game.

Both will need major improvement in that area.

Parcells was amazing at stressing that to young RB's.

Guys like Reshard Lee never touched the field because of it.

Yeah, I was a little upset by that too. And he seemed pretty sure, and apparently has a good track record with predicting our first round picks.

The idea that we're still considering Felix Jones as a first round pick, and at 22 no less, does not make me happy.

Perhaps. He usually doesn't actually find out who we're likely drafting until literally the night before the draft. It seems a bit early for him to get that sort of information when a good portion of the pro days aren't even finished yet.

Also you have to believe if we are targeting a RB @ 22 then the Pacman Jones deal is virtually done.

What has he done to hurt his stock? A lot of people were downing him after 8 reps at the combine, but that was proven to be false. His 40 time was decent and he was a top performer in most other drills.

I agree. Don't know when it'll be announced, but probably sometime soon. When is the commish gonna decide if he gets reinstated

Right before training camp begins.

So if we did the trade before the draft, we wouldn't even know if we would have the guy till afterwards. That's a big gamble.

I seriously doubt Jones would make the move without talking to Goodell and finding out what he's most likely to do

To be honest, I haven't seen any East Carolina football, but I have seen more than my share of Arkansas football. Felix Jones. Final answer.

I just think any RB @ 22 after the top 3 would be a little premature for that position. You can't tell me that dallas cannot find an equal complement player at #28 or in the 2nd round.

Felix at #22 just doesn't seem like a great choice. I know that Dallas is only looking for a part time player at RB but I think the guy they draft should be able to be a full time player if needed. I don't know if that is Felix or not but drafting at #22, whoever they draft should be able to handle the full load if asked to.

To me, Ray Rice even at #28 would be such a better pick then Felix Jones at #22. You might call it a reach at #28 but I would rather reach at #28 then take Felix.

Felix scares me with the possible "bust factor" more then any of the other top four or five backs. He was supposed to be scary fast but ran about what Ray Rice did? Nothing close to D.M.

If your not WAY faster... I'll take Rice. I think Rice will be the steal of this draft. Way better instincts and vision. Thats HUGE in moving to the next level where everyone is fast. You want vision, explosion and lateral agility. You want to shift down the line and explode through the hold.
