After losing the league’s leading rusher from 2014, running back DeMarco Murray, to the Philadelphia Eagles last offseason during free agency, it was believed the Dallas Cowboys would select a player to fill his void via the draft.
And although the 2015 NFL Draft offered one of the most talented and deepest classes at that position in recent memory, shockingly the Cowboys opted not to pick a running back at all last year. It was a move that left the Cowboys running game in turmoil at the start of the season.
Luckily, a career resurgence by veteran running back Darren McFadden saved the Cowboys front office from an avalanche of criticism for their gaff.
