I remember two years ago (Zeke thread)

Remember the last time we drafted a RB in the top 5 , we went to the SB and beat the crap out of the vaunted orange crush. History very well could repeat itself.

Well I did! Haha

I believe you lol. I guess i'm just bitter that you guys saw it coming and I didn't. Granted, I didn't want him but because of the price lol.

My friend and i (he's an Eagles fan) were watching Zeke just shred defenses. We both were in awe. I would jokingly say watch out Dallas is going to get him on day knowing we weren't ever going to pick high enough. And he would jokingly say yeah ok you wish.

This is my favorite pick since Dez Bryant. Not because it's splishy splashy, the Claiborne pick was more of a splash cause we actually gave things up to get that bum (I wanted Poe btw never liked Claiborne). But anyway, this is a GREAT player. The tone he is going to set alone makes it worth it. He's going to have already fired up guys like Dez and Witten on a new level. After the draft he said "I hate to lose more then I love to win." He's that dog we've all yearned for to go along with Dez. He would've never got hawked by Peppers and then fumbled it.

I can't believe two years later we got a guy I was totally joking about having a chance to get. It's rare that 2 years in advance you see a player and know he's going to be a top 5 pick. Zeke never lost any of that momentum the next 2 seasons and went #4 overall. What a fantastic pick I can't wait to watch him play. My fantasy teams name is Touchdown Elliott this year. All hail the hero in the half shirt!

Here is a full list of running backs I wanted the Cowboys to have.

Eddie George - We didn't have a pick in the first round that year.
Steven Jackson - We traded down when we had the chance to get him.
Corey Dillon - We didn't trade for him when we had the opportunity.
Adrian Peterson - We didn't trade for him when we had the opportunity.
Todd Gurley - He didn't fall to us and we didn't trade up to get him.

I think anyone of these running backs could have helped us be more successful if not taken us to a super bowl. I don't think I've ever been wrong about a running back I was really excited about.
