What about Aaron Jones the Cowboys destroyer?

[RonWashington]

If he played against Dallas every week they would have signed him until 2029

What’s the strength of schedule on that ?

th

In 3 games against the Cowboys he has 62 carries for 370 yards and 6 touchdowns! Is he the same back probably not, but why not think about adding a guy who has ruined our defenses over the years when we play against him. If you can't beat him, join him!! Please give your thoughts!

if he played against the cowboys every game, I would say go for it. but unfortunately he doesn't play against clowns in every game.

 

[quickccc]

Well of course but add him if we can't get Rico back

At vet minimum dollars at the least.
But id get that starting featured lead rookie RB first .

Then post draft see how much Aaron Jones would cost .
He'd have to be a change of pace type at the least.

But I'm still looking at other vet options at RB than just Aaron Jones...

Aaron Jones running into a brick wall 20 times a game will make little difference.

Can you please get off of last year, we've got new coaches who want physical game plans and physical players, did you get a physical this year yet??

Did you get a scan? Did you fall and bump your head? Were you diagnosed with 10 -year amnesia?

Yeah but anyways who would you rather have

Aaron Jones is undersized and at the end of his career. Hard pass.

Gotcha

Me too I don't know why everyone is so down on him however I'd love if we can trade down and still get him or Hampton

I haven't read anything about anybody being down on him. All I have read is that Hampton could be as good or better, and can be had a bit lower in Rd 1. The Broncos will go TE or RB come their back, or I can see them trading up in front of us to get a Jeanty . It's what Payton does, and will do to the Cowboys, you watch

 

[Amarillofan82]

I would rather take Jeanty at #12 than give up cap for Jones. Jeanty is a immediate starter and impact player, but could only be a 4 or 5 year starter.

My ideal draft would be to trade down to a #15 to #17 pick and still grab Jeanty or have a chance to grab OT Kelvin Banks or DL Walter Nolen at #12.

The Cowboys needs OL, DL, RB, LB, WR in that order.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Ironically, 2017 was very deep as well. Jones went in the 5th, but ahead of him: Fournette, McCaffrey, Dalvin Cook, Joe Mixon, Alvin Kamara, Kareem Hunt, D'Vonta Foreman, James Cooner, Perine, Jamaal Williams, Marlon Mack. Good quality RBs

BUT, I'm not sure any 2025 RBs look worth a 1st Rd pick (with the needs DAL has). I'd rather build up a big OLine and then find a quality RB in the later rounds

Yes....that's what I'm saying.

It's almost ALWAYS a huge mistake to take a RB in the 1st round. Or an off ball LB, or safety, or guard.

Maybe...MAYBE a team like the Eagles or Chiefs, with picks in the 30s, u consider it if the player is special and ur trying to keep a SB window wide open. But for majority of the teams, use ur 1st round picks on pass rushers, oTackles, QB or CB, and maybe WR if the guy is special.

 

[conner01]

Not worth it. He's at the end of his career. You can get a better back in the later rounds most likely this year.

We need to draft a guy and sign a guy. We literally have one on the roster. You need one that can block and that’s why you want one to be a vet. Most college RB lack blocking skills. I wouldn’t mind dowdle back then draft a guy in top 3 rounds

I don’t see oline as biggest need. Just from a numbers standpoint we need DT, WR, RB, OT, LB. Though drafting for need causes taco like picks. Pick the best football player at any of our 5 positions of need, after 3rd round ypu forget about position and just pick best player. Need leads to poor decisions. If the best player on your board in 4th rnd is a TE then I’m taking the TE not a reach just because of need. Fix needs at most positions in FA
