As Cowboys hint they're in play for a first-round RB, here's what Bijan Robinson says he'd bring to the table

Stephen Jones seemed to understand his comment was unexpected.

The Dallas Cowboys executive vice president acknowledged his perspective represented his opinion and only one opinion. Then he admitted: The pick he’s gearing up to select at 26th overall may not be a prime candidate for a second contract. And that’s OK.

Elliott’s loss stemmed more from the relative value at his price tag than a belief he cannot play anymore. Team owner and general manager Jerry Jones insisted Monday that Elliott remains an “outstanding” player, and though his burst and efficiency have dipped as he ages , his productivity still translated to 12 touchdowns last season.

Robinson's production and raw talent indicate he'll come off the draft board long before pick 26, and arguably even before the Cowboys could prudently trade up. He racked up 3,410 rushing yards and 41 total touchdowns as a Longhorn, marks that rank fourth all-time in school history despite Robinson leaving after just three seasons.

But Robinson’s draft slot will be as influenced by the NFL’s shifting perception of running back value as it will by his talent and playmaking. Modern NFL offenses favor the pass. Front offices increasingly view physical running backs who absorb punishing blows skeptically, concerned about their longevity and the risk of an asset deteriorating more rapidly than at other positions.
