Now, though, is it time for the Cowboys to turn their attention to running back? It’s a deep class with plenty of options remaining outside of Gurley and Gordon to help fill the void left when DeMarco Murray bolted to the Eagles in free agency.
The Cowboys are familiar with this running back class, of course, bringing in a total of six backs for pre-draft visits, including Indiana’s Tevin Coleman and Boise State’s Jay Ajayi, who remain on the board.
So do other quality running backs in Miami’s Duke Johnson, Alabama’s T.J. Yeldon and Northern Iowa’s David Johnson.
But Jerry Jones and executive vice president Stephen Jones reiterated late Thursday that running back still isn’t a priority. They feel comfortable with the group they have for now with free agent acquisition Darren McFadden to go along with returners Joseph Randle, Lance Dunbar and Ryan Williams.
