The Dallas Cowboys could make a splash in the upcoming draft.
Several people believe there is “a lot of sense” in seeing the Dallas Cowboys could go for one of last season’s Heisman finalists, and it’s not the first time they’ve made an unexpected move and ended up going for an offensive player of this caliber.
Ashton Jeanty to the Cowboys? It’s a real possibility
Jerry Jones’ team could make a big splash if they do select one of the top offensive players available in the upcoming draft in April, and with their 12th overall pick, Ashton Jeanty could land in their hands
According to The Athletic insider Jon Machota, he would first have to be free at this point in the picks, but there is a high possibility that the Cowboys if he still is, will go after the explosive Boise State running back.
“There’s not an absolute No. 1, but running back is as close as it gets,” Machota writes when referring to the team’s needs.
“They added some depth pieces in free agency with Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders, but they’re still lacking that unquestioned No. 1 back. Rico Dowdle had that role most of last year. He’s now in Carolina. The Cowboys, one of the NFL’s worst rushing teams last season, need an upgrade. The most likely path continues to be early in next month’s draft.”
“This is considered a quality running back draft class. Dallas should’ve drafted a back in one of the first four rounds either last year or the year before. It didn’t happen and now it’s a must. If Ashton Jeanty is still available at No. 12, it just makes too much sense.”
Ashton Jeanty could leave at the No. 4 position for the New England Patriots, so a trade might be necessary, and that could determine how badly the Cowboys want the star running back who can make a big impact on the team right away.
