The other options at RB

[Typhus]

It's a reason why they call them " highlights " ...

I understand but it's the best resource you can grab unless you have a better source and if you do, please grab it and share it.

I started this thread immediately rating Judkins as my 4th rated RB in this draft just to establish how deep this RB class is.

Does not really matter at 4/5 in this draft, good talent at RB is deeper than what we have seen in quite some time, there will be some stars that shine coming from this draft class.

Wouldn't it be so nice If we were actually able to draft Judkins and we swing again at RB and were able to pair him with say.... a Cam Skattebo as well.

That combo of Rookie RBs would be a special pairing that would instantly redefine our backfield and frustrate opposing league defenses league wide for a long time.

Seeing those two in action together as rookies would go a very long way in correcting this backfield ASAP and improving this offensive design completely.

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.

Great observation on college carries workload.
I paid close attention to the info concerning 1500 NFL carries and the steep decline thereafter from a couple or so years back.
When you add in a bellcow type career as a college player I think shelf life and effectiveness definitely should be considered when making high RB choices and whether the value is there or not.

If it were me I'd go the trade down route for a RB as well.

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.

Yeah the reason is they are wrong, it’s been happening since the very first draft, they don’t get it right, I will repeat it they don’t get it right, they thought Blair Thomas was a better rb than Emmitt, Jimmy thought that James Francis was a better pick than Emmitt, although a lot of us are not scouts or football executives there is a lot of us fans that no more than those people that are getting paid we’re just not in the business for whatever reason.
Tuten why are you stuck on him, even though he’s better than Jeanty at catching passes. And faster .
it doesn’t matter where they have hi projected, there are soooooo many later than first round picks that has had HOF careers or just better careers overall, the draft is a crap shoot, and people that think they are experts just like you and I think we are they get it wrong as we do

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.

That is highly likely to happen after the Eagles dominated in the playoffs with running the ball.

There has been a shift. The RB position is no longer being devalued. It hit its floor a couple of years ago, and is now back on the rise.

However, Jerry is often late to figuring these things out.

That’s because everything goes in cycles, I’m in 60s i have seen it happen, and I have been on this ride with the Cowboys from the beginning

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

Giddens or Martinez both fit like a glove in the offensive line scheme they’ve hinted at. Don’t really think he has to pound the table as at least one, possibly both should still be there. It’s going to be more the value of the position of what’s there.
If an OL with a 2nd round grade is there like Beebe last season, is still on the board, then which way you figure they’ll go!
At that point they see if one falls into the 4th and then start packaging a 5th, 7th, and next years 4th!

Absolutely, but Jerry is in his 80's and is always behind the curve.
