Let me be on record saying I would pass on Jeanty and get a RB later due to other holes, but I also want to say Jeanty is BY FAR the best RB in this class and is MORE than worthy of the pick at 12.

In fact, I actually think it will be a moot point because I think someone else takes him before 12.

Everything I've read from draft talkers put him right up there with the best RBs taken in the draft the last decade. One even put him on equal footing with Barkley. The dude is really good.

Jeanty is right there with Zeke, Saquon, and Bijan in terms of perception/projection as an NFL back. Unfortunately for him, his draft position will definitely be hurt by the depth in the draft this year.

I also think teams have figured out that the way to get better is to draft the high value positions while you suck and then draft a QB after you have built a solid foundational team. That has hurt the RB in general.

I wouldn't be mad if the cowboys took Jeanty. I think he'd make us better next year. It's just made extremely complicated by the fact that you could upgrade the position by taking a guy in the 3rd round this year. It would all depend on who is available at 12 and who they don't take, if they take Jeanty. I wouldn't pass on Kelvin Banks or Tet if they were there.

This is a good sign. If this is the guy, they are clearly moving to a run and play action based offense.

If the hire is in fact Adams, the #Cowboys are really trying to focus on improving their run game for 2025. https://t.co/GrjqDcNrRj

heard a draft guy say it was the best running back draft, depth-wise in recent memory.

I can't tell you how many draft boards I've seen where exactly one RB is taken in the first round, which is not exactly the smartest place for him (Jeanty) to go…almost always is Dallas drafting him in these mocks. It's like the draft predictors know what a dumbass Jones is as a GM.

You can bag on Jerry and the cowboys about a lot things over the past decade, but drafting in the 1st round is not one of them.

2015Byron Jones
2016-Zeke
2017Taco Charlton
2018Leighton Vander Esch
2019No pick
2020CeeDee Lamb
2021Micah Parsons
2022Tyler Smith
2023Mazi Smith
2024Tyler Guyton

That's the last decade of first round picks.

If they land Adams, I think Brian S is kinda quietly putting together a really good staff.

All of those have been hits at the very least if not superstars. The only two busts...Taco and Mazi, and I don't think Mazi is a bust, he's just not been a first round pick.

5 "we'd definitely make that pick again, he was great" out of 10 is an very high hit rate.

Klayton Adams 2024 Cardinals Offensive Line:

Allowed 5th least sacks (30)
Third least pressures allowed (180 NFL average is 213)

Cards O-line under Adams the past two seasons:
3rd in rushing yards only behind Philly and Baltimore
2nd in YPC (5.2)

Would be a big loss for AZ.

It's official, Klayton Adams new OC

As much as I like Jeanty, if you tell me I can have Ngegka or Berden then this guy in the 2nd, I'm very happy.

y'all really going to say that DAL HAS to draft Jeanty Round 1 when you could potentially get this dude in R2?? https://t.co/xYzfKBzpJ8

Never turn down a difference maker. Zeke was absolutely a beast and steal on his rookie contract. If only that was the whole story.

I think are worst position to fix is DT, but I have absolutely no faith in our scouting department when it comes to the D line. So I'd stay away from D line early but use a lot of middle and late picks on that and sign a lot of UDFA. Go the shotgun, high quantity approach and hopefully we can get a few solid players

Both Ohio State RBs and the Iowa RB will have multiple 1,000 yard seasons in the NFL. Pick one of those after the 1st round.

In the two seasons that Klayton Adams has been the offensive line coach with Arizona, only five teams have a better rush EPA/play, and they all have a rushing attack we're jealous of. If the Cowboys want to fix their ground game, hiring Adams would be a good first step. pic.twitter.com/AgZOEaKSKu

Yeah I really like what they've done around BS. Still hate how we got here, but the refocus on the o line and getting Eberflus (who's been a HC before) seem like really good hires and areas of focus. Also, it seems like BS has gotten to pick his own guys he's wanted.
