Who did Jason Garrett want to draft instead of Randy Gregory? It was apparent that he did not want us to draft Gregory, so who was his RKG?

Wasn't Tyler Locket his guy? They loved him. Especially after letting Harris go and needing real speed at WR.
Not sure though.

David Johnson would have been nice. They liked him enough to check him out.
They brought in Duke Johnson.
The like PJ Williams ok, but I'm not sure they would've taken back-to-back DBs.
Maybe Eli Harold or OO.. or Clark?

BTW, he's already said every draftee outside of rd1 does not have to be an absolute classic RKG.. Once the locker has a core of those guys they can bring in wild cards....but I think Gregory was for not one that he wanted.

Probably somebody on this list:

2 60 OLB Randy Gregory

2 61 G Ali Marpet
2 62 CB Quinten Rollins
2 63 DE Frank Clark
2 64 S Jordan Richards
3 65 CB D'Joun Smith
3 66 G Jeremiah Poutasi
3 67 G A. J. Cann
3 68 TE Clive Walford
3 69 WR Tyler Lockett
3 70 WR Jaelen Strong
3 71 C Hroniss Grasu
3 72 OT Jamon Brown
3 73 RB Tevin Coleman
3 74 DE Owa Odighizuwa
3 75 QB Garrett Grayson
3 76 WR Chris Conley
3 77 RB Duke Johnson
3 78 CB P. J. Williams
3 79 DE Eli Harold
3 80 CB Alex Carter
3 81 G John Miller
3 82 LB Lorenzo Mauldin
3 83 CB Craig Mager
3 84 LB Jordan Hicks
3 85 TE Tyler Kroft
3 86 RB David Johnson
3 87 WR Sammie Coates
3 88 DE Danielle Hunter
3 89 QB Sean Mannion
3 90 DT Carl Davis

It is likely somebody drafted after Gregory but before Green.
3 91 OT Chaz Green

Clark had some character issues also.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Not sure that he was high on Garrett's list at the time.
Locket or Johnson would have been nice:)

There were rumors that the Cowboys (or some people in the organization) liked RB Duke Johnson. I don't know if that was true, but it was a rumor at the time.

I think they liked Tevin Coleman.

If so, it kinda worked out, eh? I love that we finally have another Emmitt to watch. I'm partial to the run game.

I wanted Lockett bad. But imagine that, JG wanted another offensive weapon. Of course he does, he's an offensive coach. But this team needed defense and still does.

My guess is it would Johnson or Tevin Coleman. They seemed high on both guy. Not sure to what extent for each. They wanted to draft a HB, after Gregory, things just didnt fall into place for them to do so
