Spending the #4 overall pick on a RB was not and will not ever be a prudent move, unless you're talking about Adrian Peterson'esque quality back. Zeke ain't that.

Beyond the obvious historical argument of being able to get quality production from players of less heralded backgrounds, taking a RB that high doesn't make financial sense. Zeke's rookie contract instantly put him in the Top 10 of highest paid RBs in the game. Ramsey's contact made him the 46th or 47th highest paid defensive back in the game.

Ramsey was the pick I wanted at that point, assuming a worthwhile trade back wasn't on the table. Everybody knows I don't like spending the premium assets on a RB, but Elliott's going to be a good player for a long time in Dallas. What's done is done.

Most teams aren't going to have that Giants interior line, too. Zeke will end up getting his share of yards, but I have to admit I was surprised how underwhelming he was yesterday. I was also surprised they didn't try to get him outside more and up the sidelines. I thought that was one area we could take advantage of this DL. Stretch them out and maybe tire out those big boys later in the game.
Yeah,I wanted Ramsey too,but wasn't mad that we got Zeke.

Wait two or three years ,then they can be properly compared. I bet everyone will be happy we grabbed Elliott.:)
