I realize many people on this board are Julius fans, but I thought Barber played better than Jones last year. Yes, I know Jones was hurt for a significant time, but Barber IMHO appeard to run harder than Jones. I believe Barber proved last year that he could be a co-starter.
That being the case, I would be fine with Dallas drafting Laurence Maroney to team up with Barber and once again form a dominating running attack. Maroney was hurt last year so his stock has dropped alot. I believe we would be getting a bargain at pick 18. He may even be the BPA. What to do with Jones? Trade him. He has trade value since he comes cheaply.
Heck, draft center Greg Eslinger and guard Mark Setterstrom in later rounds and have the core Minnesota Gopher rushing attack.
Gopher football has produced very little over the years, but they have produced a great running attack.
In addition, think of the mascot upgrade...we could replace our creepy Cowboys mascot with a rodent.
