Rumor: Cowboys to pass on Jeanty

[Kingofholland]

Few thoughts..

1. I'm not confident Jeanty will be there seeing how Henry and Barkley made a difference on their teams last year. There are 4-5 teams I can see drafting him earlier.
2. This could be smoke, if you remember how much Jones talked up Brooks last year only to see him go elsewhere. Could also explain why Jones hasn't been talking as much. Hard to believe you have a coaching staff getting back to running but not prioritizing the best back in the draft.
3. I think Jeanty would be the biggest splash selection the Cowboys could make and passing would be like passing on Jackson all over. However there may be a great OL or DL prospect there as well.

Bears just traded for Jonah Jackson. I think Jeanty is a lock to Chicago

IMO if this true, then there's a chance they feel the same about the loaded DT position. They will use 12 to fill an opening starting position with limited depth in the draft ( think WR, Oline, LBer, CB IMO ) This article makes me think OLine or CB. Stephen Jones says he would hope any player drafted in top 12 will be with the team for at least 8-9 years.

I would hate Oline in the 1st.

Pre-draft rumors are 50/50. But if they haven't met with him yet then it sounds like they will not be drafting him in the first round. I do agree with this strategy. This is a deep RB class and I would take two RBs later and feel good about it.

I am coming around to passing on a DT in the first too, for the same reason. There are a lot of DTs in this draft and I can see taking one in the 2nd or even 3rd round and another in the 5th, maybe 2!. I feel that with 10 picks the Cowboys should be loading up on DTs, and RBs, and anyone in the first that looks like he will make an impact, and that includes Tyler Warren - and I never want to draft TEs in the first round.

I would also include LB as a major need.

They have 9 picks

For this team that equals 4 Tacos , 2 Trystens and 2 Josephs, and a Rico not named Dowdle.

I love Jeanty but there are so many nice rbs that id rather get an impact defensive player or wr then take an rb maybe third rd unless Hampton is there in the 2nd
