Javonte Williams

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said “We don’t really feel like we have to pick a position anywhere,” when asked about the possibility of drafting a running back this weekend.

Jones can say what he wants, but a running back room featuring Javonte Williams, Miles Sanders, Deuce Vaughn, and Malik Davis seems untenable. The Cowboys ranked 27th in total rushing yards (1,705) and 30th in yards per carry (4.0) as a team last season and only scored six touchdowns on the ground — the fewest of any team in the league. Jones noted that he likes the moves the team made in free agency, but you’d be hard pressed to find a front office executive who won’t say that about their team in April. Currently holding two Day 2 picks for Friday’s portion of the draft, it’s hard to imagine the Cowboys not adding a rookie back to lead what appears to be an underwhelming backfield next season.
