2nd round. We passed on Steven Jackson in the 1st.
Holy shit......I was thinking Felix Jones. Right on about Julius Jones and I stand corrected.

I'd take Dak over Charlie.Honorable Mention- Charlie Waters.
Honorable Mention- Charlie Waters.
Forgot about him (and his fumbles). I'd have him replace Walker on that list.
But when he fumbled, we almost always lost the fumble to the other team. I don't think Emmitt was that snakebit.Murray's reputation as a fumbler comes from that crucial fumble in the playoffs against the Packers. I guess it's not how often you fumble, but when, that sticks in the mind. Murray actually had a career record of a fumble every 97.5 touches, which is very good. Compare that to Emmitt's record of a fumble every 81.8 touches (still very good). Dorsett had a fumble every 36.1 touches (surprised me how bad that is). Of course I'd still take Emmitt or Dorsett over Murray any day.
Well, I've been lurking, if not logging in much. I find the offseason to be bit of a drag at the best of times but even more so this time given what's going on the world at the moment. Think I've just about exhausted every old Cowboys game on YouTube now. I even watched the scab game from '87 against the Jets. Made me wonder why Kevin Sweeney didn't make anyone's top 5 Cowboys QBs. He was torching those scab Jets DBs!English Cowboy -- Where you been? How's life across the pond? Good to see you here again!

That's also because opposing teams decided to corral Zeke and made the decision to make Dak beat them. Playoff teams made the right call when they did this. Dak was I believe 1 and 6 with 8 tds and 8 picks vs playoff teams in 2019.^ Zeke rarely got that kind of space to run through, especially last couple seasons.
I'm excited to see what the subtle changes in the blocking scheme might do for him, along with being far less predictable than Red Goober's offense.
I never saw Frank Clarke play, and he did play in the 3 yards and a cloud of dust era, but he is the only one I could argue should be on the list as opposed to Hill or Dez.On to WRs then. I'll go:
1. Irvin
2. Pearson
3. Hayes
4. Dez
5. Tony Hill
That's about right. TO had more raw talent than many of those guys, but he didn't play with us long enough to make the list.On to WRs then. I'll go:
1. Irvin
2. Pearson
3. Hayes
4. Dez
5. Tony Hill
