It was no mistake to take Zeke with the 4th pick. The mistake came when they overpaid him on his second contract. Zeke was the offense for 2-3 years and he carried the team, including Dak. Many fans wanted Ramsey, but it would have been likely that he would have worn out his welcome in Dallas just like he did with the Jags.
Zeke didnt carry the team. Didnt even win rookie of the year. Dak did. In fact he single handily ruined the 2017 season by getting suspended for 6 games. We wound up missing the playoffs by 1 game.
Who was it that carried the team in the 2nd half of the 2018 season? The "WR by committee" year? When Jerry traded for Cooper it was Dak and the passing game that caught fire and lead them to the playoffs going 7-1 down the stretch.
You just dont take RB's top 5. They dont last long, as we are seeing now. Ramsey was the pick and its not even close.
RB's are dependent on their Oline for their success and we have seen how Zeke has gone downhill as the line as gone downhill.
On the contrary, Dak as gotten better as the team and Oline around him have gotten worse. Pass catchers not withstanding.
