Honest response

I preferred Ramsey, but I was certain we'd have a great player in Ramsey, Bosa, or Elliott. Offense will be fun to watch.

My greatest joy was when the QBs were out of the conversation. Won't surprise me if they were both to bust.

 

[lostar2009]

Really didnt have much options. So it was 50/50 for me.

 

[conner01]

As Catch said, not what I would have done but a good player
He will have a huge impact immediately. Personally I like to look more long term. I wanted a QB myself, that didn't happen. I wanted to start building the defense, that hasn't happened yet. But we got a player who is a good player and will make an immediate impact so hard to complain

 

[JoeKing]

Honest response.. feeling let down. I see no value in Zeke. We needed other needs filed more.

 

[sbark]

I'm good with Zeke......doubt he gets stripped by Peppers going thru that massive hole vrs. G.Bay.........he takes it too the house.

 

[dfense]

After Bosa was gone it was Ramsey or Elliott. I'm a liittle surprised they passed on Ramsey. Maybe because they got punked on Claiborne and were more cautious, or maybe because they took a corner #1 last year. Either way, instant starter, contributor. Cant say that for Giants and Eagles. I had Apple as someone Dallas could look at at #34.

I'd like to hear from the "passing and stopping the pass" wins games crowd.

I've been in heated debates about how important the running game is. And I don't like this pick. Zeke will be a solid player. But the drop off from him to another back you can get in the third is far less than the drop off from Ramsey to another CB that you can get in the third or later.

This seems to be a typical over reaction reach pick by the Jones's. Talk all last year how basically anyone can run behind this line. Completely over rate what they have at RB and now draft one way to high.

Hopefully we go defense the rest of the way and dont get stupid and start trading picks away. If we are all in with Romo and dont care about the future then forget about taking a QB until the fourth. We need DL, SS, CB, MLB and DL.

Wanted Ramsey b


Surprised they didn't want to drop two spots with ravens to still get him at 6 since a trade was on the table.

Yeah, that's the only disappointment I feel. I like Zeke and I'm glad we got him. I honestly didn't want Ramsey. I wanted Bosa or Elliot or a massive trade down to 15 and take Lynch. But the only cringe I have is that we could have traded down with SF or Baltimore and got some picks and then also got Zeke.

I hope we get Tunsil now in the 2nd, then go all defense rest of draft.

 

[jnday]

They tried to go with "okay" backs. Recognized the mistake, and now they are addressing that mistake.....

great pick.

To those still defending that debacle of letting Murray walk and giving the running game over to Randle and .....DMC. This is the FO saying...."hey, we were wrong".....now they are trying to fix it.

They was not wrong on Murray. He was injured all the time until his contract year. They used him up his last season in Dallas because they had no plans to resign him to a big deal. He played hurt for the money in 2014. In previous years, he wouldn't have .

 

[Toruk_Makto]

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.

You posted this because you care? OK bro.

As for how I feel. I hope and think Zeke will be great for 6 to 7 years barring injury.

I think we wasted an opportunity to get a 2 or 3 contract player who is worth it.

It's a terrible missalocation of resources.

 

[visionary]

I understand the concerns. But we won as a run-first team, and we just landed the most complete back in a while.

Lol I expect nothing less than blind parroting from you so this is par fur the course. Gurley and Bell are both better backs recently drafted and there are several better backs coming out next year
Bad pick period

 

[fishspill]

Since I was on Goff, Wentz, and Bosa I can't complain. My guys got picked before Dallas could do anything.

I'm sorry you can't read. I said most "complete" back.

 

[Doomsay]

Indifference. Not excited. Not sad.

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

Like every move Jerry makes. Value flush.

 

[bleedin' blue]

Wasted pick... We already have good backs... McFadden ran for over 1000 even though the competition knew we had no passing game at all...
We need a pass rush

maybe. I dont agree, but maybe. Not too many teams let the offensive player of the year, who lead the league in rushing, breaking E. Smiths singld season record........................ go; But we did.

But the real mistake was the backup plan to Murray leaving was ..........Joe Randle and a throw away DMC.

We win by having a a tough , smashmouth running game. Its an attitude. A chemistry...etc etc.... We have this awesome OL. Now , lets let EE/Morris pound the football. And demoralize the oppossing team. Thats how we win,as long as we have Romo....

 

[KDM256]

Wanted Ramsey inthe 1st and Henry inthe 2nd

Dont mind Elliott, just didnt want Bosa

How many points are rushing yards worth? Cause McFadden's TDs were only worth 18 last year.

Look, McFadden finished out strong and had a great December. And had a couple other good games in the season....but he also had games of:

6 for 16
10 for 31
6 for 35
10 for 31
5 for 16
20 for 64
17 for 32
10 for 11
14 for 53

 

[coult44]

It makes no sense to me based on recent decisions regarding the run game and considering much more glaring holes.

Sounds like to me they learned from their mistakes. Thats all we can ask for...
