All-in eventually meant losing key offensive linemen and their starting running back and not signing any of their extension-eligible stars to a deal.
The Cowboys entered the NFL Draft with a glaring need for depth at running back, yet they didn’t use a single one of their draft picks to address that.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, that’s because the Cowboys realized the importance of having a strong offensive line.
Jones stated that the Cowboys needed to make up for the losses of Tyron Smith and Tyler Biadasz, which clearly made a lot of sense.
But with a running back room of Rico Dowdle, Royce Freeman, Malik Davis, and Deuce Vaughn, that doesn’t exactly say going ‘all-in.’
Granted, this draft was weak at running back, yet there were more than enough top-notch free agents at the position — including Derrick Henry — to consider.
Now, a reunion with Ezekiel Elliott is reportedly in the works, and that’s one year after they let him walk away because he didn’t have a lot left in his legs.
There have been some rumors about them bringing back Ezekiel Elliott, but it’s more than evident that they still need someone to carry the load for them.
With that in mind, NFL analyst — and diehard Cowboys fan — Skip Bayless urged them to take Michigan star Blake Corum in the second round of the NFL Draft.
Talking on “Undisputed,” he compared Corum to Cowboys legend Emmitt Smith, stating that they’re both built the same way and that they both have great balance and are tough to knock on the ground.
