If Blue is going to be involved in the backfield this year, it will be as a pass-catcher. On the other hand, the Cowboys are still looking for a more traditional backup between Davis and Mafah. If Javonte Williams misses time this year, we're likely looking at a backfield by committee in which Blue is not the lead runner. Having already steamed up draft boards, Blue's lack of contingent value makes him a hard sell at an RB54 cost.

Blue's RB54 cost lacks contingent value despite second-team snap volume.

Blue has steamed up draft boards and is being selected at RB54, but his lack of contingent value makes him a hard sell. He played more snaps with the second unit than any other back in both preseason games, but his role is limited to pass-catching. If Javonte Williams misses time, the Cowboys will likely deploy a backfield by committee in which Blue is not the lead runner, severely limiting his upside at his current draft cost.
