Cowboys 2026 draft: Top early round running backs in the draft
"Love is a one-cut and go runner who hits creases fast and keeps his balance through contact. He's dangerous when the blocking gives him a lane because he accelerates quickly and can turn routine runs into chunk gains, and he's more than just a runner. The biggest improvement area is the pass protection and playing under control. He can also put himself in danger by trying to hurdle defenders, which he tries to do often."
"Coleman is a compact, tough runner who makes his yards the hard way. A quick one-cut decision runner with good vision between the tackles, and excellent balance when first contact hits. He's built to bounce off arm tackles and keep falling forward, and he also gives real value in the pass game The biggest knock back is his top-end speed. Pass protection is another improvement area, he's willing, but technique can be inconsistent."
Dallas faces variable running back needs depending on whether Javonte Williams is re-signed and on roster decisions about Jaydon Blue, Phil Mafah, and Malik Davis. If Williams returns, early-round investment is unlikely; otherwise the team may need to use a higher pick. Rashaad Love profiles as a one-cut, explosive runner who accelerates through creases, adds receiving value, and can carry an offense but needs improvement in pass protection and controlled play. Coleman is a compact, tough between-the-tackles runner with excellent balance and pass-game value, but he lacks top-end speed and needs technique work in pass protection.
