Some of you might not remember Dorsett and Newhouse. Newhouse was a powerful horse in the backfield, where Dorsett was a scat back. You can drive defenses crazy when you can go to either, throw to a all-pro TE, and throw to a WR that is in the top 5.
Some 2nd round back that could replace Barber for a few plays a game -- fine. A franchise back that could run with Barber --- new aspect for defensive coordinators to have to plan for -- much better.
Roger S -- Romo
Tony D -- DMac
Newhouse -- Barber
Cosbie/PPearson/JSmith -- Witten
D Pearson/THill -- TO/ ???
These guys were in the playoffs deep every year, and won a SB or two in the process.
Just Keeping the Dream alive.
This team needs franchise players to push a good players back, not backups that need to work hard to get up to second string.
Jerry hires talent evaluators, and I don't know how they evaluate DMac -- but IF they evaluate him as a franchise back, Dallas needs to go get him, IMO.

first off, this isn't 1977.
secondly, no running back in this draft is worth 2 (late) first round draft picks. multiple talent scouts, many who have worked in the NFL, have said this.
third, how is jerry going to pay DMac AND Barber...we're only about 5 million dollars over the cap. there's no space to get him.
and fourth, this draft is very deep at RB...mcfadden, mendenhall, felix jones, jonathan stewart, chris johnson, jamaal charles. there's no reason to trade up to get a guy who isn't deemed worth trading up for.
and lastly, from what i've heard, jamaal charles is already looking like a bust.
