2.01 Dallas Junglehawgs - RB Andre Williams

In the real world: The New York Giants, another team looking to add depth at running back, picked up Williams to back up Rashad Jennings in Round 4. The guy who was supposed to be their starting running back a year ago, David Wilson, is coming off neck surgery (and even before then, was in coach Tom Coughlin's doghouse for fumbling problems).
In the TUFF world: Regardless of whether Jennings is the every-down back--and in my estimation, he should be because he's averaged 4.5 yards a carry in three of his four seasons in the NFL--Williams going in Round 2 makes sense.

However, Dallas also has needs at wide receiver and tight end; better players than Williams were available at both positions at this stage in the Draft. Right now, their best three wideouts are an aging Roddy White coming off his worst season in seven years, the promising Terrance Williams (the team's most productive wideout in 2013) and the frustrating Michael Crabtree (who has exactly one 1,000-yard season to his credit thus far). All three of the Junglehawgs' tight ends are either part-timers or backups. Point being, I would have tried to address both needs in Round 2--say, Jace Amaro at 2.01 and a wideout later in Round 2.
