ROFL IN JERRY WE TRUST!!!!! Says every Jags fan alive. B)

Drafting Elliott at #4 was completely idiotic lol. Cowboys and Giants tie for the worst/biggest reach picks this draft.

I think Apple @ 10 was a bigger reach than Zeke @ 4.

RBs can easily be found much later in the draft. Zeke better run for at least 1.2k yards and 8-12 TDs in each of his next 4-5 seasons to even justify that pick imo.

This pick, just like the Giants pick, seems like a panic pick. The QBs and Bosa were gone for Dallas and they went into panic mode. I guess Jerry finally went full on Jerry mode.

I agree its an awful pick. Rb should never go in the first let alone the top of the first.

Cowboys
Giants
Titans reached hard in this drsft


Cleveland reached also but not as badly

It wasn't as awful a pick for the cowboys, He is better than Demarco and they dominated the T.O.P which helped their historically shitty defense.

Zeke is a 3 down back and I don't think 1200 yards and 10+ TDs every season will be hard for him behind this line.

The thing I don't like about the pick is that they already have DMC and Morris on the roster. Dallas has the best line in the league, and they gave DMC his second 1K season ever, and he wasn't even the featured back.

I think they could have found WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more value from Ramsey or any of the other top prospects.

It was a very curious pick with all the RBs on the roster but I do feel he is a AD/Gurley type RB that you can justify drafting that high.

To some extent I do too, but I still think it was a lousy pick @ #4.

The talent is there, and I like the fact that he's a complete player, but @ #4 I just would not have done that.

If he ends up being an upgrade on 2014 DeMarco, it could be considered a win (especially if you factor in how much more efficient Romo is when he doesn't have to carry the team), but I still think Ramsey would be a much better pickup.

Being better than Demarco isn't saying much...

And that was my whole point. Behind that stacked ass OL, if he doesn't AT LEAST put up those kind of numbers, it'll be a huge failure. He better dominate the league and be a top 3-5 RB from day one to justify taking him at #4.

I just mean they went 12-4 using that mold of just pounding the football with Demarco and the defense has gotten better since Demarco left.

Taking as much stress off Romo this late in his career was prolly the cowboys #1 priority.
