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.  |
Yeah we wouldn't replace murray with what was there when we were likely ready to take rb. I'm just as worried relying on Randle off the field and DMC staying healthy. I thought there were a few serviceable backups to be had. I'm fine with the wait and see approach. There always seems to be a rb available for trade every year.
