Darius Jackson

Draft Film Review: Cowboys RB Darius Jackson

The Cowboys running back carousel seemed to finally stop turning when the franchise decided to draft Ohio State stud Ezekiel Elliott with the 4th overall selection of this years draft. Following the addition of Alfred Morris, drafting Zeke added another formidable back to an already crowded position group. Then, in the sixth round, the Cowboys added yet another running back by selecting Eastern Michigan Eagles speedster Darius Jackson. Though the addition of a second running back in one draft class, especially considering the quality of back which was added in the first round, raised some questions and concerns among fans, Jackson could actually have an impact as a Cowboy. Darius Jackson is a zone-blocking type of running back who brings a good mix of power and speed.

Cowboys Running Backs: Who’s In? Who’s Out?

The Dallas Cowboys are going to be faced with a difficult decision when it comes to evaluating the running back position and deciding who’s in and who’s out. One of the most surprising selections for the Cowboys in the 2016 NFL Draft was when the organization decided to draft Eastern Michigan’s Darius Jackson in the six round, especially after making running back Ezekiel Elliott the 4th overall pick. If you would have asked me before the draft what position the Cowboys were most likely to double dip in I would’ve probably answered either defensive end or cornerback, but never in my wildest dreams would I have thought the Cowboys would use two of their nine draft picks on running backs. The running back position will be one to keep an eye on throughout the rest of the off-season and it will be interesting to see what the Cowboys ultimately decide to do with all of these RBs. Let’s take a look at the depth chart and try to predict who stays and who goes.

2016 Dallas Cowboys Draft: Gut Reaction

I like to think that during the deliberations in the Dallas Cowboys War Room throughout the 2016 NFL Draft that when a tough decision was on the table someone said, “Go with your gut.” The human belly is capable of making some great decisions when under pressure. I mean, how often do you look back at a decision in retrospect and say to yourself, “I should have gone with my gut.”? My gut is nice and full from this year’s Draft and it has fully digested everything that went on regarding the nine newest members of America’s Team.
