Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Cowboys selected Jones with the 22nd overall pick, impressed by his 1,162 yards and 11 touchdowns backing up Darren McFadden last season for the Razorbacks. The last time the team used a first-round pick on a running back was for Emmitt Smith in 1990. Jones is expected to play a complimentary role to starter Marion Barber.
