Quote:Elliott wasn't worth a top five pick for the Cowboys?

 

I'm not going to say he wasn't.... BUT 

Quote:Many would say "no." 

 

The argument is that they could have a 3rd round back behind that O-Line that would still rack up 1400 yards conceivably and could have taken an impact defensive player like Ramsey with that pick. 

this point here... imagine if Ramsey had been on their D which was ultimately their downfall. Or maybe they take a pass rusher there instead, since they really needed those too.

 

Over the last decade or so we've seen RBs from every round be successful for a year or two here and there and behind Dallas' Oline DMac had his best season... and they had Alfred Morris.

My guess is that the duo could've hit 1400...

I also think Dak was obviously the better "value" and probably more valuable to the team.

 

However back on the other coin... I have no doubt Zeke will be very good for a long while.
