Of course it's smokescreen season, but I tend to agree with this poll and have made individual posts about Yeldon and Abdullah as my picks after Gordon and Gurley, not Coleman, Ajayi or Duke. I hope this is how our FO sees it too.

In a poll of 20 NFL personnel men, Georgia's Todd Gurley received 13 votes as this year's top running back prospect.

Wisconsin's Melvin Gordon garnered the other seven first-place votes. The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel used a "points system" based on rankings provided by the scouts. Behind Gurley and Gordon in "points" were Ameer Abdullah as this year's No. 3 back, T.J. Yeldon at No. 4, Tevin Coleman at No. 5, Duke Johnson at No. 6, and Jay Ajayi (knee) at No. 7. Javorius Allen, David Johnson, and David Cobb/Jeremy Langford (tie for 10th) rounded out the top ten.

After Gurley & Gordon...many seem to have wide ranging opinions/rankings on the other RB prospects.

Cosell really likes Yeldon & Ajayi. Mayock has Gordon as his top back & Ajayi isn't in his top 5. Former Bears college scouting director Greg Gabriel ranked Coleman as his No.1 back. And so on.

I'd be happy with several backs personally...though I haven't seen the Cowboys mentioned in terms of interest in guys like Abdullah, Duke Johnson, David Johnson, Mike Davis, Jeremy Langford, etc.

They had some interaction with Mike Davis at some point, I don't remember the specifics.
