Cowboys get a steal on Jones

It is possible the Dallas Cowboys got one of the steals in the draft.
Compare Darren McFadden and Felix Jones

McFadden No. 4 pick rushed for 1830 yards, 16 TDs, and 5.6 yards a carry

Jones No. 22 at back up rushed for 1162 yards, 11 TDs, and 8.7 yards per carry.
The Cowboys also got one of the best return men in the country. Even though teams tried to kick away from him, he still managed 29.6 yards per kickoff.

It sounds to me like maybe this guy has been overlooked because he was overshadowed by McFadden. Does this put to rest those arguments about whether or not the Cowboys picked the wrong running back?

Re: Cowboys get a steal on Jones

I don't know if Jones will be a better pro than Mendenhall or not.
One thing I'm fairly sure of, though, is that he'll be the better of the two Arkansas tailbacks in the pros.
