"Coming off a 1,200-yard, 11 touchdown season, he's not just a guy they're keeping around, he's a clear RB1 they're paying like a legit offensive centerpiece for this roster. That alone changes the draft math if Jerry and company have already spent meaningful cap at the position."
"The knocks on Blue haven't been about burst - Dallas clearly likes the home-run ability - but about trust. Ball security and pass protection, plus the do the little things better, means Blue had issues staying active on game day last year."
"If Blue remains a package player rather than a complete RB2, the Cowboys could absolutely justify drafting a runner who is cleaner in protection and ball security, even if the ceiling is lower."
Dallas Cowboys' commitment to Javonte Williams through a substantial three-year, $24 million contract signals confidence in building the run game around him as a legitimate offensive centerpiece rather than treating running back as a roster emergency. Williams' 1,200-yard, 11-touchdown season justifies this investment. This financial commitment allows Dallas to allocate premium draft picks toward higher-leverage areas, particularly defense. However, running back remains a potential draft consideration due to concerns about backup Jaydon Blue's reliability. Blue's issues center on pass protection and ball security rather than athletic ability, limiting his availability on game days. Dallas may still draft a running back late in the draft to create a trustworthy backup option if Blue cannot develop into a complete RB2, prioritizing protection and ball security over ceiling potential.
