Still, both backs clearly fit the Cowboys\u2019 mold \u2014 explosive, versatile, and physical with the ball in their hands.<\/p>\n<p>But what they don\u2019t mention is what might matter most: he\u2019s physical. He\u2019s tough in pass protection, and he can catch the football. Exactly the identity Brian Schottenheimer has been candid about looking for in his \u201cideal back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Dallas added Miles Sanders and Javonte Williams, but neither is under contract beyond this season. Sanders, now 27, is likely the odd man out for age and\/or contract purposes. And you don\u2019t push out guys like Deuce Vaughn and Hunter Luepke \u2014 who bring niche value \u2014 for a league average talent on a one-year rental.<\/p>\n<p>As much sense as TreVeyon Henderson would make on day two, just keep in mind the Cowboys have been eerily quiet on the Ashton Jeanty front. And if he somehow makes it to pick 12, he\u2019s your guy.<\/p>\n<p>And at some point in the first 2 rounds, either way \u2026 we think you\u2019ll have a new and highly athletic guy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Henderson may be the perfect fit on paper \u2014 but Ashton Jeanty could make the Dallas Cowboys worst kept secret vanish in an instant.
