Michael Irvin talking draft on The Ticket

[IrishAnto]

You said he wasn't a special runner. I just don't see how anyone can watch him and say that.

He is head and shoulders above any other back in this class, which is why he's currently the only back projected to go in the first round. To me, his talent is absolutely on par with Gurley's and he doesn't have the injuries or upright running style to boot.

Could a starter be had later on in this draft? Absolutely. Elliott is still a special type of talent though.

He would do very well in Dallas.

Thing is though as RXP says above, next years draft has a number of 1st round talent RBs.

If things go well for us next we won't be picking at 4 but if there is a plentiful supply of quality at RB then we're likely to be able to get one with a much lower draft pick (hopefully pick 32)

I don't see anyone in next year's class I would put on Elliott's level. Not right now at least. Elliott would have been a first round pick last year.

I really don't like Fournette at all, btw.

Elliot would give us the best run game in the league. Records would be broken...

Dalvin Cook is in Elliott's league, IMO.

I like Cook A LOT and actually think he might be the second best back in the draft, but I don't think he's on the same level as Elliot. I would absolutely love to get Cook though.

Yes, Romo is the best option for a deep playoff run in the next 2-3 years.

But to ignore the fact he has a significant injury history and is up there in age would be a tremendous mistake by this organization if they opt to take a positional player over a QB at 4, even if they have a QB high on their draft board.

I hope when building their draft board, they don't automatically drop QBs on their board because they have no intention of taking one at 4 because they want a positional player that might help from Day 1.

I agree here.

Dallas will not take a QB at 4.

Its going to be a defensive player #1 and #2.

Its what they did the year they drafted Marcus Spears and Ware the year they went to the 3-4.

They are going to do DL with both picks.

With Hardy gone and now Lawerence with back problems and Gregory suspended..

they to have players there.

The thing is, if this all doesn't workout and Romo does go down..

we"ll be right back next year with another 4-12 year and we will draft our QB then.

JJ always thinks we are one player away, so not shocked by that comment. I see no way, shape, form or fashion they take a QB at #4. I think it will be Ramsey, Jack or Jaylon Smith (in a trade down).

Smith has nerve damage and failed the medical at the combine, he will not play in 2016 and it is 50/50 he will ever be the player he was before the injury.

Been saying that about Fournette for a while now. Not a fan of him either. At least not as the type of RB people here have hyped him up to be. Haven't graded him or watched the tape, but every time I watch a game I see a guy that is slow to get going and laterally challenged. If he gets a load of steam, he's a load to bring down for sure, but I don't think he will be anywhere near as good as the hype. I mean I was seeing people throw around AP comps... What have you seen when watching him?
