Cowboys Draft Focus: Building a Powerful RB Corps

0:00On April 4th, Dallas Cowboys execs huddled up at the NFL owner's meeting to break down the 2026 draft, putting heavy focus on there, running back spot. Coach Brian Shottenheimer backs to Vante Williams as the lead guy after his breakout year, but he's clear the crew needs more punch behind him. Younger backs have to level up, and bringing in fresh competition fits the plan perfectly for their scheme. Shottenheimer wants runners with vision, patience, and that extra edge to keep defenses guessing. Fans and analysts see the gap, especially since last year's speed pick, Jaden Blue barely got touches as a rookie. Adding depth could transform a solid group into a nightmare for opponents, grinding them down over four quarters. Cowboys scouts showed real interest, like sending running backs coach Derek Foster to Demon Clayborn's pro-day at Wake Forest after his blazing. 4-37-40 time. They checked out Image Johnson from Nebraska 2, plus standouts like Roman Hymbe from Indiana. K-Tron Allen from Penn State and Jadarian Price, from Notre Dame.
