Quote:I wasn't surprised by the crypt keeper taking a running back.  They mention local here and then on the national media over and over about the Dallas getting their "tripletts".  Heck they even asked Elliot about it and he answered perfectly.  When you chase the past and look for that glory you mess up the future.  Their lose is our gain.  Of course it is still a crystal ball business where factors play out that you can't know about.  But it is a win to me.

 

I think Dallas made a good pick.   They have a great offensive line, great WRs, great TE, real good QB.    A stud RB would keep the defense off the field and make all those other offensive pieces that much more effective.   Plus, I really think Elliott was one of the very best players in the draft. 

 

So I think they did the right thing for the situation they were in.   Of course, I'm damn glad they did what they did.
