Saquon Barkley’s success helps make the case for a running back in the first round for the Cowboys

The worst case scenario has come true for Dallas Cowboys fans. Both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Commanders have made the NFC Championship, something the Cowboys haven’t done since the 1995 season. While no Cowboys fan wants to see the Philadelphia Eagles have the success they’re having, a lot can be taken away from the way they’ve built their team this season. Despite having a highly-paid quarterback and two expensive receivers already on the roster, the Eagles prioritized the running back position this offseason. They signed Saquon Barkley in free agency, and now he is putting together one of the greatest rushing seasons in NFL history.
