The Facts: Stephen Jones says the Cowboys had their eyes on RBs during the first three rounds of this year’s draft. But there were better players at other positions when they were on the clock. The other part of the equation is that the Cowboys are comfortable with the group of backs on their roster. “We really feel like with Darren McFadden, Joseph Randle and Lance Dunbar that we have three really good RBs,” Jones, the team’s executive VP, said. "At the same time, we’re not done. Player acquisitions are 365 days a year."
Diehards Line:While Jones didn’t mention Ryan Williams, who was on the Cowboys practice squad last year, he said it was not intentional and just an oversight. Jones said Williams needs to improve his pass blocking, but added “he’ll certainly be a factor in who’s going to be our running back this year.” Meanwhile, Morning News staffer Jon Machota believes if the Cowboys are to eventually give the majority of carries to one player, McFadden could be the guy. After all, Jones compared him to Murray during the call because of the way both have dealt with multiple injuries. “We really think Darren’s in the best shape of his career,” Jones said. “He looks great out there. We really think that you put him behind our offensive line and he has some luck and stays healthy, we might really have something here.” Either way, Jones assured fans that the Cowboys will remain committed to the running game. And with the league's best offensive line clearing the way, whoever gets the bulk of the carries will be of interest to fantasy owners.
