Baltimore must hate us then. We stole Dez from them a few years ago.

Word is that Ravens wanted Ramsey, but there's enough subterfuge going around that maybe they were wanting Zeke.

I feel like I am in a dream with Zeke. Never thought we'd take him after signing Morris. Getting him is like your dad taking you to buy a used car for your birthday and the salesman drives around the corner with a brand new mustang or camaro.

From the presser sounds like they were "working hard" to go back into the 1st to get Lynch. They felt that giving up the 2nd + another pick was worth it. That it didnt work out though and go in the cowboys favor.

Jerry said Baltimore was going to take Elliott, so they backed out.

Seems like a waste to not take the extra pick regardless of what it was. This team wastes a lot of draft picks. Elliott at 6 was highly likely to be there for them.

Tunsil's twitter account posted a picture of him with a gas mask on with a bong literally mid-draft.

When they interviewed him after he was picked at 13, the guy from NFL Network asked him straight out if his Stepfather (the one he is in lawsuits with) had done it. He ducked the question and just kept giving the "Bull Durham" answers of "I'm ready to help the team, I'm here to work hard, anything to help the team win".

But you could tell he was completely freaking furious. There is going to be an amazing story that comes out of it at the end of the day. The difference in salary between the 5th pick and the 13th is 12 Million (24MM vrs 12MM).
