How would you feel about Bijan Robinson going to the Eagles?

If they use the 10th pick I'd prefer it. Have no issue with it as a Cowboy fan.

The thing about Bijan is that how much impact can he really have in a offense with Devonta Smith, AJ Brown and Jalen Hurts? And oh yeah Dallas Goedert? They have a great offensive line....

If Howie wants to waste a 10th overall pick on a running back? So be it. Now if he gets him with the 30th pick that's EXTREME and great value.

I wouldn’t love it, but if they did, I would hope they would use their highest draft pick to do it. That would help me to feel a little bit better.

Exactly. He's an excellent back to be sure, but he's not Barry Sanders. Sure, he'd help their run game, but it wouldn't kill our team if they got him. I sense he's likely going to go to Chicago or Detroit though.

I don't think Bijan slips to 30. Especially not with us at 26. Jerry likes the sizzle. I sense that Jerry wouldn't hesitate to take him at 26 if he's sitting there. He'd be able to sell the choice as being a great replacement for Zeke, and he'd love the jersey revenue that would come from it. So, I highly doubt he falls to 30.

He will only be as good as the offensive line and their defense. If they give up point he will be somewhat ineffective. If their OL withers because of age and FA losses he will struggle, as any RB would. A few years down the road when his rookie deal is up he will be an albatross like Zeke was for Dallas.

Who did the Cowboys draft in this scenario? Honestly that's all I will be caring about.

If the Eagles want him, (they let Sanders walk), they would move up from 30 to 25..That's their MO.

I’ve seen a few mock drafts with the Eagles taking him
About how I felt about Saquon Barkley going to the Giants. It adds to their weapons and makes overtaking them tougher, but the Eagles have also lost a few key components of last year's team. And we've added a couple of players through trades that might can take our team up a notch. Not making much use of free agency always makes the task tougher for our team, but the Eagles getting Robinson wouldn't necessarily be the nail in the coffin.
