Utterly ridiculous that Alex Collins with three 1,000 yd. seasons in the SEC and Jonathan Williams are both still available after 10 rb's taken.
Look at the quality of some of the RBs recently taken.
And yes, good ones still left

I like Zeke, but some of the guys picked from round 3 to 5 would have also been possible ROY candidates in Dallas' offense.

My argument has alway been what is the marginal return from early vs vs later for various players.
Oh well.

Did we pick any players in this draft that will play this year? Maybe we thought this was the 2017 draft?

Not sure if you are serious but in the event that you are, there is this guy named Ezekiel Elliott, you may have heard of him. I suspect he will play a little ball for us this year. Also, Tapper and Collins will be part of the DL rotation so they will also play. That is 3 of 5 players drafted so far that will play for sure.

That's a fair criticism.

At this point (and I didn't go ape over the pick) I think Elliott has the be the early favorite for ROTY.

Both DL are going to be regular parts of the defensive line rotation.

Smith... I wouldn't be surprised to see him in December.

And Prescott? Again I wouldn't be surprised if he had a play or two called for him.

So right now you've got one starter and two quasi-starters.

So our future is simple concepts. Half the field. One read and go.

Super excited.

That seems to be where the NFL is headed. So it is not just our future, but the entire league's future. Unless the NFL can come up with a better farm system than college for QBs. Hard for the NFL tobeat the free farm system college gives them.

You probably have a Hall of Famer with the 4th pick and then you have the rest. :D

Makes me more upset with each additional rb taken.

So freaking dumb.

I think Elliott very well could be ROTY but I would have had a totally different strategy. I really liked Paul Perkins as a 4th rd pick and thought some positions that have not been addressed would have been easily upgraded and could have helped with the cap. I would have been looking to replace Carr and Church, Hoping for the best.

I like the Tapper pick a lot and I think Collins can be a valuable part of a rotation even if I think there were better options at pick 67.
