Agreed. I'm not trying to knock Rico, but he still looks like a lower end starter to me and the Cowboys really should look at upgrading the position. If he comes cheap I'd love to see him back with a rookie taken in the top 3 rounds to split carries with him. My guess is that if he continues to put up numbers at this rate he is likely to get overpaid in what is looking like a weaker than usual FA RB class. My fear is the Cowboys feel forced to pay him starter money probably in the James Connor or just under range and feel like they can neglect the position again in the draft.
I agree. He’s a fine back. But when you watch other backs and other teams play you can just tell there’s a gear missing. The guy who gets 2 when he’s suppose to get -2. The guy who takes a 2 yard run and turns it into 20.
This team is always a year or two late though. They will draft someone. I think they should really use two picks to do it one in the 2nd and one in the mid round. But of course I’d be happy if they spend just one….
I have the same fears as you……
They sign Dowdle and maybe draft someone in the 5th or 6th….
