2008 NFL Draft: 1.22 Felix Jones, RB, Dallas Cowboys
Jerry Jones is a noted Arkansas alum and, because of that, most mock drafts had him taking RB Felix Jones with the 22nd pick. As it turns out, the mocks got it exactly right. Jones averaged more than 8 yards per carry playing as a key backup to Darren McFadden and has elite speed. The Cowboys will look for Jones to spell Marion Barber.
Fantasy Impact: As long as Marion Barber is healthy, Felix Jones won’t be a major fantasy force. But he is talented, has fresh legs and has an extra gear that Barber does not. In redrafts, Jones is no more than a late round pick; however dynasty owners may want to consider him particularly as a handcuff to Barber.
