Romo has a very finite number of years remaining. To put all that faith in this running back group is like relying on those pre Tyron Smith offensive lines. It's not sensible.
You get Adrian Peterson, and we have a chance to win the super bowl every year he is here for.
We've built this team, but we still need catalytic players, and he is one of the greatest in the league. He is probably the 2nd best player in the league the last 10-15 years right behind Peyton Manning.
If you somehow don't think that is worth a 32nd pick in the draft, I'm not sure where your sensibilities come from.
Also people playing on his age and wear and tear just don't know the player. Same people who said he couldn't come back from an ACL injury, and he proved them wrong and was the NFL MVP.
People comparing this to Roy Williams and Joey Galloway are also missing the big picture. Neither of those players are hall of fame players. The Galloway trade actually made sense, and had he played with Troy we might have been able to save a couple years towards the end of his career rather then slip into 3 straight 5-11 seasons. The Roy Williams trade just didn't make a lot of sense because we overpaid for the value of the player. And you could see that when you saw another trade that same year which was Anquan Boldin. What is worse is that Roy Williams never really fit our system.
AP is a perfect fit, still in or near his prime, and would certainly put this offense over the top.
