Another good pick by the Cowboys
lol how can anybody say that right now?
I love all these comments on draft day, "what a steal!" "great pick!" "what a bad pick!"
So many factors play into how these guys are going to pan out. There are no such thing as locks. Nobody knows how any of these guys are going to develop.
I thought it was another unneccessary pick by the Cowboys because they need help on defense. Sean Lee is hurt every year. They have no pass rushers. Elliot looks like he's going to be a great running back but they would have been fine with Morris and McFadden at HB and could have benefited by grabbing a stud somewhere else and then addressing RB in the 2nd or 3rd.
The HB position isn't what it used to be. Look at the top 10 running backs last year:
1. Adrian Peterson
2. Doug Martin
3. Todd Gurley
4. Darren McFadden
5. Chris Ivory
6. Latavius Murray
7. Devonta Freeman
8. Jonathan Stewart
9. Frank Gore
10. DeAngelo Williams
Peterson and Gurley are the only true studs, and Gurley has only played 1 season (and didn't even play all 16 games). Because of the new rules and the way running backs get hurt, I don't think RB is as important as it used to be and positions of need & value should be prioritized.
As far as Smith goes, I hope he heals and is a stud but there is simply no way to tell if he will.
