Hunter is EXTREMELY underrated - and, he's got low mileage (only 472 carries as of today). So is Kaleb Johnson from Iowa (another low mileage guy with only 414 carries as of today).

That I think is what happened with Zeke. He had like 1800 carries I think in College. A back just has so many in him; outside of freaks like Peterson and Frank Gore I think it maxes out at 4000. IF you look at Zeke, that is about where he fell off the cliff.
That and age also. Henry I think has maybe one more year before he is sinking.
So getting a low mileage RB is your best bet out of college.

Jeanty is such a stud that I'm not upset with him in 1, but there really is just a ton of solid players in this class.

Kaleb Johnson and Omarion Hampton are a couple of my favorites. Ollie Gordon didn't have a great start to the year but maybe he bounces back.

I'd honestly like one RB in the first 3 rounds and another late if we don't sign someone at least of the Zach Moss level in FA... again.

Nicholas Singleton will be available to Dallas round one without a trade up . With so much need on the defensive side of the ball wait until round 3 take Dylan Sampson Tenn .

With hopefully improving OL play with the rookies getting better and better offer Dowdle a team friendly deal to couple him as a compliment to Sampson. And of course Leupke should be part of a backfield plan with probably new coaches .

+1 .....Stephen has mentioned wanting a "big back" in the past. So I see them going after a 3-down type....

All throughout the history of the Dallas Cowboys, Their greatest success has come with a great starting RB.
RBs aren't a dime a dozen
This isn't a passing league.
Get your stud RB even if it's in the 1st round.

That has been true for us; our first SB win had three excellent banks in Thomas, Hill and Garrison.
Then of course our next one had a HOF as well as of course our last three all a HOF RB.
BUT on the other hand you notice that KC had not had one; to be blunt who has won a SB with a TOP RB in the last ten to fifteen years? AND yes it is a passing league; just not as much a one as some here claim.
IF you want to win it all you need a running game that takes the pressure off of the QB. You need a running game to take time off the clock to rest your D.
Personally I think you can do that without a RB taken in the first RD. When was the last 1 RD RB to win a ring?

Tahj Brooks at Tech is a bulldozer. Would love to get him late and a speedster early. Jeanty is just a dream. We need a overhaul.
