Nope not at all. Just tends to highlight how unpredictable college RBs could be. Bodes well for a guy like Randle...

Yeah. I like Randle. I watched his career also. He won't be as durable as Murray but used properly he will be very effective.

Who ever thought Murray would be durable? We were all holding our breath for him getting hurt last year.

You know it was not about that specifically, but honest here.
It was what we do on draft day.
You find a way to piss me off and we butt heads.

I dont think it has to just be draft day.

Maybe I should have posted two art smilies.

I don't think it's necessary to have a blue chip RB. But there is an option between the two extremes of drafting a blue chip or relying on day 3/undrafted FA's/reclamation projects.
Maybe our gamble on avg or worse RB's behind a greal OL will pay off, but I have my doubts. If not then I hope we try to upgrade next offseason with a RB on day 2 and/or a quality FA.

Not endorsing the Cowboys ignoring the position either.
Just saying that teams that have gone all in on franchise backs are not well represented among SB champions.
You're right. Ideally we'd have a mid round guy to compete with Randle, maybe a vet who isn't actually a corpse being dragged around by two slackers in an elaborate hoax.

This is a good point, but many of those teams content to lean on a franchise back just happen to be stupid-as-shit chronic underachievers.
However you land upon your back, you have to mix the run with the pass and have some semblance of defense.
The one shining example of stupidity has to be the 2006 Chargers losing with Rivers and Tomlinson and HFA to a Patriots team that literally had no chance unless the game was handed to them, which it was.
Dallas has decided to be a run-first team without a reliable, proven RB. IOW they are trying their best to be stupid the other way, because RB is the biggest obstacle to Dallas' being a Superbowl contender.
Late in the season in bad weather when the defenses have tightened up and your beaten-up 500-carry backfield has to come up with 25 more critical carries-- who do you want leading that charge?

It's definitely important to acquire a good running back. Several really, a second day pick every other year seems about right.
