For many Dallas Cowboys fans, the team is not doing enough to address the crisis left by last season, despite the hiring of Brian Schottenheimer as head coach, the best option for Jerry Jones’ ego, but the question remains whether it will be the best for the team. Certainly the first step in trying to put the ghosts behind them is the upcoming draft and that’s where the Lone Star hopes lie with their 12th overall pick.
The NFL Draft: Who will be the number one pick?
The problem the Cowboys have to solve is huge, and filling all the gaps in their roster is an impossible mission, especially when they have to think at the same time about selecting a running back who makes a difference, based on the indecisions that were too costly in the recent past with Saquon Barkley or Derrick Henry.

This is where one of the running backs who has had a great year in college football with Boise State, the phenomenon called Ashton Jeanty, should be a priority for Jerry Jones and company, although it is enough that it is for Schottenheimer, who has as his main interest the renewal of his ground attack.
Klayton Adams must demand more from Ashton Jeanty
It seems that Schottenheimer’s first steps are more secure than Jones’, as he immediately secured the services of Klayton Adams as offensive coordinator, a key piece because of his history prior to his time in the NFL with the Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals, as he graduated from the same university as Jeanty.

In addition, Adams’ knowledge of the ‘market’ and the conditions he must prioritise for the Cowboys’ offense to rise from the ashes will be key to perfectly choosing battles and having well-defined priorities in the upcoming draft.
It is not possible to know offhand if it will work out, but the bet must undoubtedly be on Ashton Jeanty’s choice and Adams, Schottenheimer and even Jerry Jones know that.
