Oh man, this hurts my heart.

And Dallas will still look to draft Derrick Henry on draft day 2.

Morris is going to eat behind that OL. DAAAAAMMMMNN

Is he really a day 2 guy?

EDIT just remembered the draft is three days now -__-

 

[bosoxlover12]

He's a mid-late 2nd rounder, with a potential to fall into the 3rd (not past that)
 
He's the 2nd best runner in this draft, but he seems like a two-down player, so that might make him fall further than he should

Also apparently Morris is the backup, behind McFadden lol

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Wasn't McFadden solid last year?

He was actually rather good. Not the yardage total of Murray but doesn't have the fumbling issues. I do not know if he can stay healthy again, though, so I expect Morris to get plenty of carries. Thing is, though--they resigned Lance Dunbar, who was on fire as the third down back before his nasty injury last year. If Dunbar stays healthy this year, that relegates both McFadden and Morris into 2 down duties.

McFadden had the best O-line in the league in front of him. If Jerome Bettis came out of retirement he could get 1,000 yards with that team.

Morris will take the starters job from Mcfadden, this is just Jones controlling football decisions because he can.

I don't know if he'll take it outright--he doesn't have the speed McFragile does.
