My 1st preference was a qb. With that option gone, I was fine with Bosa, Elliott, or Ramsey. Bosa went 3, so the choice was Ramsey or Elliott. Trade down? You really limit your chances at a true game changer doing that. Elliott is s big time talent, so is Ramsey, but that 3 career picks had always bothered me.

I felt disappointed when the name came out but he's a Cowboy now so you just hope for the best.

Honestly I think they were unfortunate with this class. The best players in this class really didn't line up with their needs.

Just want ask those who wanted another player other than Elliott to just explain how they feel right now.

Not trying to enflame anyone.

I just think we all need to come together in a tense moment like this.

I post this because I care.

We need to come together for a group hug.

Indifference. Not excited. Not sad.

I think taking Elliott at 4 was a knee jerk reaction to last season.

This. Confused about organizational philosophy. Good RBs can be had in later rounds but Zeke is worth #4? Makes me wonder if Cowboys are a rudderless ship even though I expect Zeke to do well.

Maybe they want to sell us in the idea we've got the new Triplets. With the big OL. Rebuilding in Jimmy's image.

Me, I miss Jimmy's defenses more. :(

I really wanted Ramsey but stoked with Elliot. He is a Cowboys now so 100% behind the pick! He is going to truck a lot of LBs and DBs.

Giants get another Eli in the big Apple.

I like the pick well enough, I would have preferred Ramsey and one of the second round RB's, but if we can get Joseph I'll be even more ok with the Elliot pick.

What were our needs? CB, DL and RB seemed like our biggest immediate needs to me. Considering the DL depth in this draft I like the pick. I would have been fine with Ramsey too.

I think if we had taken Ramsey, a good number of folks (myself included) would have been down about it for months. With Zeke, I think most everyone comes around- including those that wanted Ramsey- to what a great pick it is very quickly.

It's typical Jones IMO. Fairly haphazard plan to roster building. But at least they didn't take a guy projected to go 30th at the 4th pick.

Elliott gives us the best chance at a legit 2016 run. Thats not even close.

My worry with him is he a guy you pay 9-10 million per for after his rookie deal
