Jerry Jones: Zeke was (picked) too high for us"

This was always obvious.

I've said it for many years. The Cowboys should have drafted Ramsey.

Jerry's comment makes me wonder how his line of thinking will impact what the Cowboys do at 26.

Well, I didn't think it was too high as I wanted Zeke.
Now, well, wisdom is great from a hindsight perspective. Shrug.

I think it did help them though.

The logic was to help Romo and that piece may very well have put us over the top and in the Super Bowl had Romo stayed healthy.

It also took a lot of pressure off Dak at a time where if the left tackle set out a game his career was in jeopardy.

Zeke and the OL is the only reason Dak gained the confidence to last this long.

This was always obvious.

I think that he meant that his pay was too high to keep at that price.

 

[bewp7]

it also is not like 2016 is 1995 rb have been lost value for a long time now not just started in 2017 lol

Zeke is the reason we won those early years! I guess we should have passed on Dorsett and Emmitt

Ramsey in the 1st and Henry in the 2nd.

Different time and the league is different.

It was a great pick then but it was never the smart pick long term. Even then.

But..

A lot of people didn’t like Ramsey because he played more safety than corner and didn’t have a lot of picks.

LOL.

Geezus these guys.

Honestly I’m still glad we didn’t take Ramsey. That guy has been a locker room disaster and is on his third team already. You look at the 2016 first round and there are tons of busts. Tunsil and Buckner were probably the best picks and both those dudes were traded.

Exactly, all draft projections had him that high. Not many fans complained about Zeke. Now alot of Monday morning QB. Shut up Jerry. You have made a hell of alot bigger mistakes then Zeke.

There is nothing better than comparing a TB in today's NFL to guys who played 3, 4 and 5 decades ago.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Ramsey in the 1st and Henry in the 2nd.

Yep. Pretty easy to figure that out. Not sure why the Cowboys didn't.

Don't forget, the Cowboys drafted Jaylon in the 2nd. Yikes!

 

[Bobhaze]

I listened to part of that presser yesterday. I actually felt sorry for Jerry because he sounded so old and weak voiced. He’s funny at times but not always for the right reasons.

Thankfully we have Will McClay and Big Mac as major draft contributors/influencers on Jerry and Giggles.

A lot of people were stoooopid with their Ramsey takes and his lack of interceptions.

Completely different time and era. Bad comparison.

Laremy "Gas Mask" Tunsil. I will never forget that pre draft photo bomb.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Drafting Zeke doomed the Cowboys franchise for the next 15ish years and it has nothing to do with the RB position.
