Passing on Jeanty at #11 is a no Brainer!

Screw that. I’m taking the instant offense. In fact if he goes before I’m doing everything I can to trade back and try to snag Golden next.

After his combine I'm taking Golden @ 12

Exactly. If Jeanty is there at 12 you run that damn card up. Football is simple.

Football is simple. Work the draft and trade down. Taking a RB at 12 is not what the Cowboys need. Taking a WR at 12 is not what the Cowboys need either.

If we have to take a skill position at 12, gimme the best WR or TE over RB please!

Passing on Jeanty would mean no brains.

Wr at 12? We agree on that. But a guy like Jeanty is different. If we pass on him it's kin to passing up on Randy Moss.

It's like passing on Randy Moss. For a need, instead of the best available player

While i agree in theory there are other positions that have more cost to benefit ratio for their 2nd contract, the rookie contracts are all on a scale so it doesn't matter.

At 12 you still will get a player top 2 at a position and a lot depends on how the board falls...if you have a trade partner and the board is deep then that's a great spot to trade back, but saying no to him just bc hes a rb is silly....have to play it out

Well, for one it's not our decision so whats the point. As much as I like the running game, I would like to have a good running back. I wanted one the last two years and they did not see it that way.What concerns me is that the 2 genius owners aren't very good when it comes to picking defensive tackles. They might pick the worst one of the bunch.

We need a DT or DE at #11.

DT’s and DE’s have WAY more value financially than RB’s!
Philly’s 3rd best DT just signed a Free Agent contract for 25 million per year. Good RB’s are only getting 6-12 million per year in Free Agency.

Draft a DT or DE at #11 and get a good RB in Free Agency or later in the draft. They should have signed Doodle to a Free Agent contract for 6.5 million per year. He was a darn good back WHEN HE GOT A LITTLE BLOCKING!

What about wide receivers?

That’s the thing. It’s need and BPA. I just think if they screw around they’ll miss on the top two tiers of RBs. And this team needs a RB now that 2/3 of the production from last year is gone.
