Injuries have played a role and star quarterback Dak Prescott is done for the season. The Cowboys have struggled rushing the ball this season as well to the surprise of many.<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys&#8217; rushing attack has looked better since\u00a0Rico Dowdle fully took over the RB1 duties, but they still could use an upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>CBS Sports&#8217; Chris Trapasso made a mock draft and predicted that the Cowboys will end up selecting at No. 12 and take Boise State superstar\u00a0Ashton Jeanty to be the\u00a0team&#8217;s next star\u00a0running back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At this point, I&#8217;d be surprised if Jeanty isn&#8217;t the selection for the Cowboys whenever they pick in the first round,&#8221; Trapasso said.<\/p>\n<p>Dallas has been linked to Jeanty already on numerous occasions and it&#8217;s not hard to see why. The Cowboys need a running back and Jeanty will be the best available. So far on the season, he has an eye-popping\u00a02,497 rushing yards and 29 touchdowns. He has a chance to break the single-season NCAA rushing record before the season ends.<\/p>\n<p>If he can end up falling to Dallas, that would be a game-changing move.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dallas Cowboys&#8217; offense certainly hasn&#8217;t performed as expected this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10837,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10836","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hot-news","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
