Anything that makes another team bring along a feature back that can be used for fantasy purposes is all right with me! Hambrick is a 3rd down bruiser back, and that's about all he's good for. He'll be lucky if he turns into a Mike Alstott type player with another team - although that would make another feature guy vulture prey...that I don't like.

Giants
1985 Joe Morris - 316 touches for 1500 yards 21 TDs
1986 Morris - 362 touches 1749 yards 15 TDs
1988 Morris 329 touches 1200 yards 5 TDs
1989 Ottis Anderson 353 touches 1300 yards 14 TDs
1990 Anderson 240 touches 900 yards 11 TDs *Hampton 140 for 700 and 4TDs
Pats
1993 Leonard Russell 320 for 1300 and 7 TDs
1994 Marion Butts 250 for 750 and 8 TDs
1995 Curtis Martin 400 for 1700 and 15 TDs
1996 Martin 360 for 1500 and 17 TDs
Jets
1997 Adrian Murrell 320 for 1200 and 7TDs
1998 Martin 400 for 1600 and 9TDs
1999 Martin 400 for 1700 and 5TDs
Parcells gets the most out of his RBs. Hambrick still managed 1000 yards and 5 TDs. I'm banking Jones can be a horse.
If I'm wrong, so be it. But if you want to win, you gotta take chances. And I guarentee if Jones goes into preseason with the starting job he's not falling past 14. If you want to take a chance on him, you're going to have to grab him before then.
*I rounded touches and yards minimally, not so gud at maf.
*Also 1987 is omitted as Morris was injured and the running situation wasn't favorable. He ended up with 760 yards on 200 touches and 3 touchdowns in 11 games..

It's not smart to burn a first round pick on a running back that may very well be the next Shaun Alexander or Deuce McAllister? Someone that's in position for touchdowns hand over fist, or 350 touches a season?
If you draft well, you can afford to get nothing from your first pick. If you're a smart and active owner, you can overcome getting a bust out of the first and second round.
This is a game. And it's a game that deserves to be "played". How many of you can say you drafted LT or Portis in the first round? How many of you waited, hoping to get him at a less risky price of a lower round draft pick?
Well you my friends missed out on one season of 1900 yards and 17 touchdowns, and the other 1600 yards and 10 touchdowns.
The number of teams that depend on one RB alone, with no competition on the bench is but a mere handful.
I want the next one.

Interesting take, aww
I hope Jones emerges as a strong back in Dallas
