Since the Cowboys failed to pick up a "lead back" in the draft, many pundits are decrying the fact that they look to be going into the 2015 season without a "bell cow," a back capable of 275+ carries. If we look at their long history, we see that the Cowboys have enjoyed great success without having such a lead back.
In an article published earlier today, Tom Ryle referenced a recently published set of "insulting" post-draft power rankings that had the Cowboys ranked eighteenth. The justification for this was two-fold: the Cowboys have too many risky players on the roster and they failed adequately to replace DeMarco Murray.
