        Cowboys Finally Draft a RB in Texas' Jaydon Blue

        By Shane Hallam | Updated on Sat, Apr 26 2025 6:39 PM UTC

        The Cowboys selected Texas RB Jaydon Blue with the 149th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Blue was expected to be the next big Texas RB after sophomore CJ Baxter went down with an injury. However, struggles with his vision early in 2024 led to a pass-catching role for the former four-star recruit. Blue also struggled with ball security, fumbling five times in ‘24 (and twice in '23). Blue still excelled in his receiving role and peaked with a 146-yard, two-TD receiving performance in the College Football Playoff vs. Clemson. Blue ran a 4.38 forty at the NFL Combine, despite nursing a torn groin muscle. His 4.25 Pro Day time may be more accurate to his actual speed.

        2025 Fantasy Football Impact

        Blue's blazing speed at Texas could get him a pass catching role on the Cowboys despite only being a fifth-round pick.

        Javonte Williams likely sticks as the starter, but Blue has an opportunity to impress in camp and get some snaps.

        He has intriguing upside as a late round flier in deep leagues.

        Dynasty Impact

        Blue has some dynasty upside with his speed and receiving.

        The Cowboys pass heavy offense could make him an intriguing PPR pick

        If Blue falls to the fourth round of rookie drafts, he could be worth a chance.
