I know the trend the last few years had been to pass on running backs in the first round. Until last year with Gurley. He was an elite prospect last year. Even with his knee injury, he went top 10 and looked like a potential star last season.

 

I think Elliott goes as early, if not earlier. Seems like the earliest he could go is 4 to Dallas but that seems unlikely. Mel Kiper now has him going to Baltimore at 6. With Kiper being in Baltimore, I have to think he is hearing that Elliott is a legit option for the Ravens. I doubt he gets past the Giants at 10.

 

Part of me wonders had the Jaguars not taken Yeldon last year in the second round, if Elliott would be an option at 5.
