The other options at RB

[Typhus]

So there is a very high probability that Jeanty is drafted before we get on the clock and with that being said I have really been looking as closely as I can at some of the other very talented RBs in this draft, I will start with Judkins and he is being rated as the 4th RB to be taken off the board.
Take a look...

Since this is a good RB class, the Cowboys need to hit them twice.

I would prefer the Cowboys trade down and try to come away with an extra 3rd or even 2nd round pick. I would like to see them come away with about 12 draft picks

I would like to see them take two RB's within the top five rounds.

Would love to know if Riley is going to pound the table for DJ Giddens

He's an intriguing prospect, he just runs a little upright but I think he can be a productive runner. There's probably 6 or 7 guys after Jeanty you could group together that could be an immediate starter and Judkins is one of them. Then there is another grouping of 3rd round to 5th round guys that likely have potential to immediately make an impact in a rotation. I agree that Cowboys should grab 1 on day 2 or 1, then hopefully snag another that brings something different in round 5 or in a trade up to round 4. Then let the RB competition begin.

I'm definitely a fan of both the OSU guys after Jeanty and Hampton.
Draft day juggling of picks and value TBD.

Trade down and get an extra 2nd or 3rd. Then trade back up and get a 3rd or a 4th. We don't need 2 - 6th's and 3 - 7th's.

Excellent RB, in my opinion Jeanty is not the best RB in this draft, he's good and I will take him, along with a second RB in this draft.
I too would like to get 2 in this draft if we can. Hampton, Henderson, Judkins, Tuten, all are better than Jeanty in my opinion.
I know I know Jeanty ran for all these yards, and I know that he was 95% or more of the boise offense and everyone lined up to stop him, but he's not good at pass protection, yes he can be taught, he can catch the ball a little bit but he's not very good at it, the other RBs in this draft catches the ball way better than he does.
My biggest thing with Jeanty is that he did not play top level defenses like the other guys the best defense he played against was Penn State, yes he rushed over 100 yards, 104 to be exact but the game was over by the time he hit and went over that 100 it was late in the 4th quarter, he only had 39yards in the first half

Theirs tiers to this

Jeanty is better than every rb in this draft. I'm sorry but Tuten is not close to him.

Tuten isn't even on the 2nd tier of rbs.

I think judkins will be the 5th rb off the board after jeanty, Hampton, Johnson, henderson.

Honestly if these 4 are all gone by 44, I'd look to trade back or go another position.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Trade down and get an extra 2nd or 3rd. Then trade back up and get a 3rd or a 4th. We don't need 2 - 6th's and 3 - 7th's.

Amen love your post sir!!!

There could be a serious run on running backs if we see it happening we must act!!!

Jeanty is not better than every back in the draft not even close. You will see, that all those D2, small D1s, HBCU and top JC defenses he played against,. Like I said he ran for a lot yards he’s good but those defenses he played against were trash. Tuten catches the ball better and he’s way faster, I’m just saying. Most people see all those yards and they want to compare him to Barry but he’s not even close, really yes he has the yards but those defenses were trash .

RB1 - 1st

RG1 -2nd

BPA defense - 3rd

There's a reason jeanty is ranked top 5 and tutens earliest projection is the 3rd.

Also, he's tuten isn't the receiver you're touting him to be. He Isn't going to catch off target passes, and he has a problem with drops.

 

[Ekspozed]

RB1 - 1st

RG1 -2nd

BPA defense - 3rd

Imo this draft is rb deep, but there's a drop-off at every point.

After jeanty there's a drop off. He'll be gone by 12

After hampton, Johnson, henderson there's a drop off. There's a chance all 3 are gone by 44.

After judkins, harvey there's a drop off, they'll be gone by 76.

Please tell us more

A " deep" RB draft class,... yet there is so much " drop off" ..?

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

Anyone read how many carries Jeanty had in college? (it's a lot)

RB at #12 overall is bad roster building. Trade down or take OL, DL, WR. or CB at that spot.

Dallas made a mistake not taking a RB in either of the last 2 drafts. Don't overcompensate now. RB at #12 is a sugar high- a luxury Dallas can't afford with all of its needs. Trading down a little and taking Hampton sounds ideal.
