Honest response

[tyke1doe]

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.

I don't sweat them for letting Murray go. His best days were behind him; Elliott's in front of him.

Fine with Zeke.

Not happy that we left the Baltimore trade on the table that Scheffer reported.

Details of that get leaked yet?

I haven't seen anything. By the trade chart, value would have been Baltimore's third rounder.

Thanks!

 

[Risen Star]

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.

The old man had too much wine.

I'm wondering if the bad taste of the Claiborne pick made them think twice about doing it all over again,,, a lot of the things they are saying about Ramsey are the same things they said about Mo.

So a 3rd to potentially pass on Elliott and Ramsey? No thanks.

 

[lwehlers]

well I wanted ramsey. Elliot will be a good short term player for us since romo only has about two years left in him but secondary is so full of questions right now. then again if we do not fix the pass rush on this team corners will not be able to play up to there potential anyway. I just hope that we use Elliot the way murray was used and not have mcfaddon as the the starter and just use Elliot as a third down back just because he is a rookie and the coaching staff does not want to trust him.

 

[cowboys2233]

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.

Hey, I miss the heck out of those defenses too. But Ramsey wasn't going to get us there, I promise you. Those Jimmy defenses also started with the front seven and we can still get there with good picks and if guys like Gregory decide they want to play football. Oh, and don't sleep on Irving, he's a lurking beast.

Absolutely stoked about the pick and the player. Ticked off that we wasted an entire year because someone thought that replacing the best running back in the league, with a RB by committee, would be as simply as plug and play. Glad they didn't throw away the blueprint.

I wanted Zeke & said we would take him. Now I'm content and will live happily ever after.

The End

Sweet dreams!

Yeah why wouldn't we do that?

Who do we take after Baltimore takes Ramsey if Jacksonville (or someone else) take Zeke?

presuming Romo got hurt either way..........doubt having Murray in the backfield would've helped Weedon/cassel anymore than DMac.....

I think Miami trade up for him

 

[triplets92]

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

It's called admitting to your mistake. It's the same reason they try to get Murray back before he went to the Titans.

 

[pansophy]

Right so if Zeke is gone then wouldn't Buckner and a 3rd best nice?

 

[TwoCentPlain]

I came home from work at 7 pm. Ate dinner and fell asleep at 8 pm. I forgot all about the draft being on. Woke up at 9:30 and checked the draft. I wasn't going to get excited no matter who we picked. Even months ago, it just seemed like this would be a mediocre draft. None of these players excited me.

 

[Stash]

Nobody is going to sell me on the need. Nobody is going to sell me on the value.

But as a Cowboys fan, I hope it works out and I hope it pays off.

Agree and Prisco sums it up for me.

It's early for a running back, which may explain why CBSSports.com's Pete Prisco gives it a D grade.

Elliott Grade: D. Like the player. Hate the position.

I'm scratching my head now, with all the 1000 AP threads last season. We got the younger closet version of him here. Much cheaper, healthier, & for longer than a 2 year cash cow contract.
"Just imagine what AP can do here"
"AP goes for 2000 yrds"
"AP breaks the season rushing record"
" JJ trade picks for AP, win now for Romo"

Sheeeesh! We got Zeke the Freak now. Let's rock n roll....nuff said
