Jane Slater - It doesn't sound like Rico Dowdle will be back in Dallas

what team will save us from ourselves and take Jeanty before 12? screw it Jerry take one in the first and one 2nd!
 
Using a high pick on an RB is becoming more likely.
It likely hasn't changed one bit. The Cowboys clearly never had any intention of signing Dowdle. Signing Williams won't have any impact on the draft either. The Cowboys needed to add 2 RB's this off season. Maybe 3. We don't know if Williams will even make the 53. Any preliminary draft talks after the season had to include getting a RB early. Probably day 2. Maybe another later of trying to sign another vet. RB's are easy to find. They just have to true NFL RB's not Royce Freeman, Zeke Elliott or Dalvin Cook for goodness sake.

There were no reports immediately after the season claiming the team had no intention of re-signing Dowdle. Those reports just started appearing after the signing of Williams who’s most cost effective. It’s that signing that spelled the end for Dowdle in Dallas. Williams is an average back that’s averaged under 4.0 a carry the past two seasons. He looks to be a downgrade over Dowdle whose free agency stock went up after this past season. He had almost 1100 yards averaging 4.6 behind a suspect OL. RB will be an even higher priority in the draft without Dowdle. If we don’t hit on an RB in the draft our running game could be even worse next season.
 
That was obvious when they signed a cheap, mediocre RB from Denver.

And to further prove the stupidity that is the Cowboys front office, they are now forced to have to use a high pick on a RB.
Jerry knows that RB Jerseys sell way more than DTs Jerseys.
