In an alternate history we draft Ramsey instead of Zeke and things would be very different.
Dak doesn't have Zeke winning the rushing title by over 300 yards and being 1st team all pro and riding that wave to the #1 seed their rookie year.
What happens with Dak if he doesn't have the best RB in the NFL for his first 3 seasons? Romo surely gets his spot back in 2016 and Dak is now the back up? Does he ever get a chance to be the guy? Would he even be in the league right now?
What happens with the defense? Zeke made the Cowboys better in the short term, but Ramsey would have been the better guy long term. Zeke is now washed while Ramsey still plays at a pretty high level.
We would not have those horrible Zeke or Dak contracts right now. We'd have Ramsey on a big contract, but he'd be much better value than both Zeke and Dak.
Looking back, it's clear the Cowboys made the wrong choice.

Stephen Jones is the only reason I'm not upset with Jerry taking Zeke over Ramsey. Can you imagine Stephen tryna lowball Jalen on his new contract? SMH

Or the tried and true we could of had Ramsey and Henry where things still same but we have long term DB and RB. Your theory does have a lot to it though

Ramsey is one of the better CBs in football but he is so overrated. People act like he's one of the best ever, when he is just one of the better CBs currently in football.

Ramsey and Henry would have been a magical draft.

Agree somewhat that he can be overrated but he balled big time in Jax with some regression now but overall I think he and another RB for value now would have been better considering our line back then.

rb over cb in the top 5
then give the rb a huge contract
as some one who is 100% against taking a rb in the 1st round at all let alone top 5 and ever give a rb a second contract oh boy!
stupid decison add up and that is how u go almost 30 years from a nfc championship game

And that’s somehow a bad thing?
Meanwhile, the Cowboys are taking an $18 million cap hit for a washed-up, used-up running back.

For how long? Romo was falling apart, physically. That wasn't going to lessen with age.
I'm confident the Jones boys would've screwed it up, either way. It's what they do.

I call BS on Ramsey. Cowboys said something more like they would consider him at #4.
I am still glad they took Elliot instead. If for anything else, to see the meltdowns.
Also if Ramsey was the pick, all the ones wanting him, would have been whining about the huge contract he would have wanted and if he got it.
You would say Stephen is an idiot to pay that much.
