5 things Cowboys must do to make the Super Bowl

3. Cowboys must add a big-bodied running back

Ever since the release of running back Ezekiel Elliott the Cowboys have been seen as a team that will be looking for another running back to pair with Tony Pollard. They did address the position in free agency by signing Ronald Jones II and re-signing Rico Dowdle, and also in the draft by selecting Duece Vaughn as a change of pace back.

These are nice moves but it doesn't fix the issues left behind with the release of Elliott. The Cowboys need to find themselves a bigger running back that they will feel comfortable with in pass protection and in short-yardage situations.

6. Tony Pollard - 209lbs

7. Malik Davis - 202lbs

8. Ronald Jones II - 208lbs

9. Rico Dowdle - 215lbs

10. Deuce Vaughn - 176lbs

The current group of running backs aren't as big as Elliott, with the closest being Dowdle who hasn't been able to stay healthy throughout his young NFL career.

If Dallas wants to be able to pick up those tough yards in close games they are going to need a bigger back that can come in and move the chains. Luckily for them, a lot of running backs were taken in this draft which should lead to surprise roster cuts and give this front office a plethora of options to choose from. Three players to keep an eye on would be Joe Mixon, Hassan Haskins, and even Ezekiel Elliott.
