He was a 3rd and is absolutely worth it as far as I am concerned.

Some players take less to get, in trade, than their original slot due to age, or lack of development/production. Davis has done everything asked of him and more. He is a great return man and has shown a lot of potential as a feature back, when given the chance. That is worth at least his original pick, only 2 years removed from it... What are you talking about?

Well let me know when you've made the trade.

It is called a discussion board. Let me know when Jerry makes you GM. Then you can decide what is worth trading... That's a terrible response to a discussion. Don't strawman me on a forum when dealing with hypotheticals. You're welcome to disagree, but you're a staffer. Could you be more respectful?

Then continue discussing.
I don't think he's worth a 3rd and I don't think the Cowboys would give up a 3rd for him.

That's fine. Is there anyone you like more than our stable? Preferably that is young. I'm not really a fan of many backs in the league. Knile is a pet cat of mine, so he's really the only "full package" I see.

Hey I like the guys skill set.
And if this was next season, when his contract was expiring I think the Chiefs would let him go cheap.
For this season I could see the Cowboys either making do with what they have OR going with a back acquired on the "cheap"... 5th round pick or free agent pickup.
Many want to get a back that can duplicate what Murray did... 400 carries... 1,800 yards.
I don't think that's neither necessary or advisable. I think that was a "season of a lifetime" that we as Cowboy fans won't see again for a long time...
#1 It's just too much of a strain on a back
#2 If the back goes down, it leaves the guys behind a little untested. Just think where we would be if the Cowboys gave Murray 300 carries last season rather than the nearly 400– and the rest of the carries were split up amongst Randle and Dunbar. Heck if Randle had 100 carries last year for say 500 yards, much of the concern wouldn't have come up this offseason.
#3 The defense is going to be better (potentially much better) than last season. The "hand holding" by the offense is no longer necessary. The defense will not need protecting.
If Murray is considered a "10" back. And Peterson is considered a "10" back. I don't think a "10" back is warranted.
We've talked about Chris Johnson on this board a lot.
He wouldn't have to come in here and get 300 carries. It's not necessary. Carry the rock 250 times, gain about 1,200 yards and call it a day.

I'm just not a CJ fan. I agree we don't need to match what Murray did. Not with one back at least. I doubt it would Even be possible. Maybe AD, but I'm not paying that price. I just don't want a veteran. If we're picking someone up, and not believing in DMC, Williams, Randle, or a committee of all of them, then I want a young potential bellcow stud.

I don't disagree with that.
But with the way the draft panned out this year and the up-against-the-cap thing, I think this could very well be a one-year-only thing for any back and then come the next draft Dallas will get that youngster who can be with the team for several seasons. I think next draft is going to be chock full of offensive skill players.

This board is a way station for those in need of a institution and it's not debatable.

Knile Davis would do wonders behind our O-line! The Cowboys should at least inquire into it

I don't disagree. this is why I think they just go with what we have. I personally don't think anyone available is better than what we have anyway. I don't know much about the 16 draft class... I love Ezekiel Elliott, but at 32, we have no chance

I wouldn't be shocked to see either Ray Rice or Doug Martin wearing the star at some point this year.

I think Rices career is about over. With how his skills have diminished, he is going to have a very hard time getting a team to take on that bad pub. I think he is what McFadden is at this stage in his career, a 3rd down back who doesn't have it to be a lead back. And as far as third down skill sets ( blitz pickup, receiving, draw plays) I would take McFadden
