Why does Every Cowboys fan want Felix Jones? | America's Legend's Blog

I keep hearing that the Cowboys need to take Felix Jones at No. 22. That is sooo much horse crap! We don't need a first round RB to compliment Marion Barber. The Cowboys can select a great value pick in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Felix Jones only ran a 4.47 and he will not be running a Gimmic Offense in the NFL. Can he line up in the I Formation and take it in between the tackles? No. Can he catch very well out of the backfield? No. Can he block well enough to take over on 3rd downs? No. What's funny is, Felix Jones will most likely be on the board when the Cowboys pick at 61. If not there might be Jamaal Charles, Ray Rice, Kevin Smith, Tashard Choice, and Matt Forte. What about RB Steve Slaton in the 4-6 round range as well.

Felix Jones will not be able to get through the line of scrimmage and past NFL linebackers. He barely ever breaks tackles, which he will need to do in the NFL to make his name. Please Jerry Jones don't waste a first round draft pick on one half of the Arkansas RB BUSTS! The Cowboys need WR/CB/S/NT/OG/C.

Charles, Rice, Smith, Choice, and Forte could all contribute for the Cowboys right away. They have proven that they can run in NFL style offenses and get to the next level consistently. How many RB's average 6 or 7 YPC? Get a solid guy who will get 4 YPC. How has Reggie Bush done in the NFL? Then look at Felix Jones......Bush is way faster, more elusive, can catch well, and blocks better. RB hasn't done too much......

I like charles, slaton, and smith. I would rather trade one of the first rounders and then pick up a RB in the 2nd and then a bonus Rb in the 3rd of 4th. Jerry doesn't have the best history of picking the needle out of the haystack, so I think we need to have him do a widenet for a good RB.

Having said that, I'm ok with him having traded out of the first round several years ago and not picking up the Rams' Stephen Jackson. We got another 1st rounder the following year, and what people don't tell you is that that pick was Demarcus Ware.

Parcells said that if they only had one first round pick in that draft, it would have been Spears, and not Ware. So, I'm 100% OK with how things are shaking out. Not to mention, I'm still not that big of a jackson fan.
