If they take a running back in the first two rounds I will quit this team.
Michel may go ahead of Chubb.
No, a super fast and elusive RB that is a good receiver would be very beneficial. He could play some snaps at WR and be the backup RB.We don't need a speedy RB to back up zeke, we need a tough durable hammer to break the other teams back. Marion Barber was the perfect backup. We need something resembling his tenacity to give zeke a breather and come in fresh at the end of the game and punish every would be tackler until they make a business decision and let him break a long one.
Exactly, they will use him like Dunbar. That role is not as beneficial in our offense, and most of the time is forced. I don't need to see another guy in that role here, I know what it brings and it's next to nothing.No, a super fast and elusive RB that is a good receiver would be very beneficial.

They wanted to do that with Dunbar but he could not stay healthy long enough. The did use him some at WR.
The Cowboys must get more speed on offense and this is one way to do it.

This kid is just as good and will probably be there as 4th rounder ...........quick and fast
We don't need a change of pace RB. We need a 3 down back that is capable of starting and carrying the load. Even if it means getting a guy that mirrors Zeke's game.
I totally agree. Sony's speed would make him a perfect 3rd down back and change of pace to Zeke's pound and force running style. #4 WR for the Bulldogs has speed I would love to swoop him in the 4th with one of our compensatory pics.Yeah, I am hoping he will be a Cowboy somehow. I would draft him if he were there in the 2nd. Morris is a FA and most likely gone. Michel has speed and would be a great backup to Zeke who is one brain fart away from a 10 game suspension.
I would love to see some ingenuity from the Cowboys and try to get both Zeke and Sony on the field at the same time, both in the backfield.
Why not get a Zeke clone if you can't? I don't get this we need another style of running back if we can get a dude that produces similar to Zeke skill set. It will be like Zeke isn't off the field at all even when he is and that won't give the other teams a rest at all.I used to think this also. Get a powerful bruiser who can get the goal line and tough yards. Spell Zeke for a series here and there and wear down the defense. The Barbarian was a perfect back for this or Brandon Jacobs from those Giants days. But looking at other teams and looking at what is working now, we need one of those speed backs. A Lance Dunbar type who can actually stay healthy.
Look at what Kamara is doing. McCaffrey. Duke Johnson. McKinnon from Minnesota. Those are guys who can beat LBs and even DBs when matched up one on one in the passing game. They are match up nightmares all over the field. But they can also carry the rock. I'd actually like to see us use Zeke like Pittsburgh uses Le'veon Bell or how the Rams use Gurley. Zeke has skills in the passing game we just done use them enough.
But when it comes to getting a back up. Why not get both options. Get a bruiser type and also get one of those speed scat back types.
A well rounded stable of backs. Zeke is one of the true 3 down backs left in the NFL, but we need back ups with more specialized skills. Alfred Morris is one dimensional and isn't all that good at what he does.
Thomas Rawls is a RFA(undrafted) and Jerrick McKinnon is a UFA.... one or both would be a good fitWhy not get a Zeke clone if you can't?

Michel or Chubb would be nice to draft, whichever falls

Wouldn't he have to fulfill his military commitment ?I really like Ahmad Bradshaw from Army. Kid’s fast and tough. Maybe in the 4th?
