Cowboys Urged To Draft Unknown 'Fumble-Free' RB

We can say with some certainty that the Dallas Cowboys will be drafting a running back in the upcoming NFL Draft, it is just a matter of where.

There was initially a thought that the Cowboys would look to take Ashton Jeanty at No. 12, but it is highly unlikely he will be available when Dallas picks. Plus, given the deep running back class, the Cowboys can still get great value in the later rounds.

Players like Omarion Hampton, Kaleb Johnson, TreVeyon Henderson, and Dylan Sampson are some of the names the Cowboys could consider, but a back available later might interest Dallas.

For NFL Network's Charles Davis, Rutgers back Kyle Monangai is the guy Dallas should be drafting.

"On Day 3, there's a kid I love out at Rutgers named Kyle Monangai," Davis said on Path To The Draft. "When you watch him run, Monangia is a 4.6 runner, but when he gets downfield, you got a lot of thinking to do if you're a defender about whether you want to take him on. Back-to-back 1,200-yard seasons, over five yards per carry, put it in the endzone 21 times over those two seasons, and in four seasons as a ball carrier, you know how many fumbles he had? Zero. People are going to scatter when they have to deal with this young man, hand him the ball, and get out of the way."
