Just like I said in the FanHouse Mock Draft, Arkansas' Felix Jones will be a perfect addition to the Dallas Cowboys.
Forget the whole Jerry-Jones-loves-Arkansas thing; Felix Jones plugs right in where Julius Jones (okay that is three Joneses in one sentence) played last year. Felix will share the load with Marion Barber in the Cowboys backfield. He's that explosive back who is the kind of home run hitter that opens up all kinds of things in that offense.
Imagine having to face the powerful Barber, dealing with Tony Romo while covering Terrell Owens and Jason Witten. Then the speedy Felix Jones walks on the field and can just pop off a huge run (on a carry or a reception). Scary.
Ego won't be a problem because he was able to be "the other guy" to Darren McFadden at Arkansas. One of those knocks against him was questions if he has to carry the load at the NFL level. He won't have to.
Felix was also an All American returner which will help out tremendously. Dallas has hit a home run on this one.

The Cowboys have the right person to get the running game going in the right direction with Felix Jones.
