Jordan Howard was a 5th round pick.
That’s like saying don’t draft a quarterback in the 1st because Tom Brady went in the 6th

The way the cowboys are structured offensively, I agree.. but only because of the type of receivers they have, they can't get maximum value from Zeke in the passing game
Even though I think you should go rinse and repeat at RB if you hit on a guy and they're about to turn 30.. I could see the value now of getting the right RB locked into that fixed rookie 1st round 5 year deal (well 4 with the 5th year option).. but RBs don't really make a ton as is, Zeke this year is getting paid top 10 RB money
But a guy like Barkley that you can heavily incorporate into the passing game I get.. and now that the Rams are using gurley more as a pass catcher, you can see the value

Every year there’s a late round RB that kills it. David Johnson, Jordan Howard, Kareem Hunt, Aaron Jones, Alvin Kamara come to mind off the top of my head.
How often do late round QB’s pan out?

I can't remember what their defensive situation was looking back. I can say that now, but I knew for sure they weren't getting that type of production out of their backfield that yr. I also know it was either gonna be Ramsey or Zeke, but Zeke was a top projected pick for a reason
everybody knows running backs are not high value anymore yet he was still projected to go that high in the first place.Their season was on Zekes back for the most part last yr (and the line to be fair, but like I said before they weren't getting his kinda production out of their stable post Demarco), so it's hard for me to just put another RB back there and assume Ramsey would make up for the potential loss of production in the running game.

What happens with Dallas once they have to pay Dak and Zeke? They can't keep that offensive line in tact and pay both of them what they're going to demand.

Tbh once the line goes, I think one of them gets exposed
maybe not to be terrible, but to not be worth a pay day. What happens with Leveon is gonna be big also

I agree because here's the thing—how long do we really think either Fournette or Elliot is going to last?

Zeke has kinda already been exposed. Dak is still preforming close to what he was last year

I keep doubting Dak, but dude keeps making plays and making throws.

I give Zeke benefit of the doubt. Might be a cop out but I gotta see him without the distractions again. They're his fault sure but still. Plus he's hella outta shape

Can't remember which game but I had to give it to him, he's playing like he belongs at the top. Only negative I can give him is that it's "only" his second year.

Dak ain't **** without that line and Zeke.
But you can argue what QB is good without a line and at minimum a decent run game.

My friend would like Jay Ajayi to do well; a couple TDs maybe.

The Vikings lost Dalvin Cook & have actually increased their team rushing output with McKinnon/Murray

I thought NE gave up more sacks than they have this season. They're middle of the road with 18 sacks given up from what I can find.
Generally speaking, I feel like Nate Solder hasn't been that great the past few seasons and their RT was trash before last season.
Dallas has allowed only 7 sacks and NO has only allowed 5
