12. Dallas Cowboys - Omarion Hampton RB North Carolina
I've talked to people in the NFL who have Jeanty and Hampton neck and neck for RB1 and there are even some who prefer Hampton. I look at Dallas' decision to hire Brian Schottenheimer and cant help but think of his father Marty and all those run heavy offenses he had over 21 years with 4 different teams. One would think some of that would rub off on the Cowboys new coach even with Dal Prescott and CeeDee Lamb in the offense.

To jump start the run game the Cowboys actually need a legit running back. Rico Dowdle was decent but he's a free agent and Dallas will likely want to upgrade. Plus this team has been known to use early picks at the position in the past, including drafting Ezekiel Elliott at no. 4 in 2016. Hampton is a home run hitter who had 1,660 yards and 15 rushing TDs in 2024.

So reach for a RB while the Eagles get Nolen at 32.

I may mess up his hair for that one.

 

[baltcowboy]

Mel has the recievers dropping like flies as well. I don’t think the Cowboys will pick Hampton at 12 but I think Hampton will be a 1st round pick. He runs like Demarco Murray.

 

[DasTex]

That would be a disaster....so I fully expect it to happen.

Don't get me wrong, like the player but you don't draft the 2nd best RB at 12 in a VERY deep RB class.

 

[reddyuta]

just give me Mike Green

 

[Teague31]

Worst. Mock. Ever. You can trade down 20 spots and still get Hampton or an equivalent back.

 

[Landryhat73]

just give me Mike Green

Supposedly Green has some character concerns.

Worked out for Staubach.

 

[reddyuta]

i know but since everybody is still mocking him in the top 15 it must not be that bad

 

[John813]

Jerry Jones at peak senile Al Davis level pick.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Supposedly Green has some character concerns.

sucks if he doesn't podcast

 

[exciter]

Supposedly Green has some character concerns.

Thought that was Pearce?

 

[Bigdog]

I’ll take McMillan with a small trade back if possible

 

[rambo2]

Cowboys pick:
Tet
Booker
Hampton
Nolen

Trade back is a possibility.

 

[cowboyec]

i don't hate it but mykel williams or shemar stewart sure are inticing at that spot...or mizzou ot armand membou.

 

[Hardline]

A trade down is the obvious option in this scenario. If I must use that pick I'm probably taking Kelvin Banks Jr.

 

[Cowboyny]

Not buying it, along with the T-Mac news yesterday.

 

[big dog cowboy]

0% chance of Hampton at 12.

For goodness sake TRADE DOWN.
