Cowboys Executive Vice President Stephen Jones isn’t dismissing those rumors. In fact, he may be adding fuel to the fire.
“I don’t think I’ve seen any set of circumstances that he’s not a first-round pick in almost any draft,” Jones said when asked about potentially drafting the Texas product. “I’m sure when that first day [of the draft is over], he’s gonna certainly have a team, and you never know.”
Bijan Robinson perfect fit for Dak Prescott, Cowboys
Joel Klatt explains why Texas RB Bijan Robinson is the perfect fit for the Cowboys. Klatt breaks down why he could even see Jerry Jones moving up in the draft to select the running back.
That would be five picks before Dallas’ first selection, but in today’s league, where running backs have been devalued, he may fall right into the Cowboys’ lap at No. 26.
Picking up Robinson in the draft would not only give Dallas another potent backfield duo similar to Elliott and Tony Pollard, but it would also give the Cowboys a security blanket in case Pollard is slow to return to form after breaking his left leg in January.
