Ever since the release of former Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott, the team has been consistently linked to running backs heading into the draft, as well as free agents. To the surprise of many, the Cowboys did not select a RB in the 2023 draft until the sixth round, when they selected Kansas State RB Deuce Vaughn. While Vaughn provides a unique skill in the backfield, the team could still use one more reliable playmaker in the backfield, someone who could complement Pollard’s skill set with more between-the-tackles ability.
While the team has been rumored to still be considering an Elliott reunion, it would be far more wise for the team to take a look at Minnesota Vikings RB Dalvin Cook.
