Gosselin: Top CB might be Ramsey, but the Cowboys need to look at big playmaker

[jterrell]

Faulk was drafted by the Colts, not the Rams. He didn't play in a Super Bowl with the Colts, though he did make an AFC Championship Game.

true. Faulk is only top 5 RB in 30 years to make a Super Bowl AT ALL.

With all due respect, that's a meaningless stat. It has nothing to do with the running back. Rather, it has something to do with where he was picked.
For example, Emmitt Smith was picked at #17. If the Cowboys had the No. 1 pick they forfeited when they selected Steve Walsh in the supplemental draft and had selected Emmitt Smith, there wouldn't have been any difference in what the Cowboys achieved with Emmitt.
Furthermore, it's not like Jeff George (No. 1 pick), Cortez Kennedy (No. 3 pick) or Keith McCants (No. 4 pick) evaluated their teams to a Super Bowl either - and they weren't running backs.
There's nothing magical about the pick or where a back is selected. The back is special regardless of where he's picked.




So?



This is what I would call paralysis by analysis. You seem to be arguing that if a back is picked in the top 5, then a team isn't going to win much. That's a rather odd analysis.

Look, I can understand that the running back position has been devalued to where teams aren't taking them at the top of the draft anymore. But that doesn't mean if a team chooses one high, the team is destined for failure.

Moreover, this isn't an either/or argument. I believe EE will have a greater impact on the Cowboys THIS YEAR than any other pick. And that's because he complements Romo and will do damage behind our offensive line. And having a bell cow running back helped us in 2014, both offensively and defensively.

But I can accept the fact that you disagree. Anyway, I appreciate the discussion.

You are entitled to believe whatever you like.
But anyone arguing EE makes sense at 4 is a buffoon plain and simple.
I realize there are a lot of those people and they are duly offended but what is, is.
When something hasn't happened in 30 years there needs to be a truly compelling reason to suggest it will now.

RBs do not lead teams anywhere. Murray didn't lead Dallas and no RB is leading anyone in the NFL.
If they were AD would have all kinds of rings.

Dallas has holes all over but not at RB.

People are basically stupid... and this Zeke take is exhibit A.

It literally is mind-boggling how otherwise sharp people can believe this crap they keep spewing.

Didn't Edgerrin James make it with the Cardinals?

 

[Doomsday101]

If I was going after CB I would go Hargreaves. He puts himself in great position to make plays on the ball

The conversation has to be more nuanced than total interceptions.

It's even more mind-boggling that you would judge people's intelligence based on where they want to take a running back in the draft.

It's really not that deep for me.

3 picks in the secondary that could really change our turnover fortune.....

FS DARIAN THOMPSON
SS KEVIN BYARD
CB SANCHEZ

Ramsey is the pick we hope is still there @ #4. An investment for now and for the future of the Franchise.

Elliot makes a huge difference for this season and into the next decade as well.
