Edit-- I was devastated when GB got Hundley. He was falling and I was hoping to get him as a nice one to groom.

Well, you're not even coming close to replacing Murray with anyone other than Gurley or Gordon, and I think Coleman was the only other RB in the draft that you could've penciled in as a starter... I'm not sure if Abdullah, Yeldon or any of those next-tier guys could have beat out Randle or McFadden for the starting spot -- at least not this year.
Instead, we shored up our biggest weaknesses on defense and added depth to an offensive line that many would argue was the reason why Murray was so successful last season... I mean, Randle averaged 6.7 YPC last season, so the argument that any NFL-caliber RB could find success behind that line isn't so far-fetched. I know McFadden certainly hasn't had a line like this in his career. Plus, the Cowboys might think they have something in the #38 pick from 2011, Ryan Williams.
Not to mention that it's still not too late to trade some of next year's picks for AP.
