There was no better player at #4 than Zeke. He was BPA and I am totally justified in my support for him months before the draft. I told everyone he was going to be the pick and yet most of you ridiculed me.

Right there with you. These guys were so deadset against him. Many of us saw a HoF caliber player behind this line and you had people who were so mad they wanted Morris to start over him... This team has some of the most ridiculous fans.

The biggest run he had to me besides the long td was when he ran over Burfict and dragged him for an extra 4 yards. That wasn't oline at all that was Zeke! He is as good as advertised.

I'm with ya

It feels so good being right about our running game

I was so pissed we dissed DMurray and let him leave(any Zoner will tel you I was his biggest cheerleader) because I saw how great our O was with him pounding the rock...PHI was a bad fit Kelly signed him just to hurt us and it worked.....DMurray is showing he still has it this year with TENN

I didn't want any part of the RBBC with Randle and DMC and hated to see people falling for the mediocre yards DMC was getting last year.....he just wasn't a threat but Romo was hurt so no biggie as long as they didn't trot him out there again this year

I wanted EE as soon as he exploded on the scene in Columbus but never thought we could get him....once Wentz and Goff were gone he was a no-brainer......it has been fun telling all the haters(TM and CPT) that EE was going to star but this is even better than expected

I even threw Dak into most of my mocks(usually in the 6th) but I was nervous after the Senior Bowl he was getting too hot.....thank God we took him in the 4th....combined with EE this may be the best draft in our history....and it can only get better if JSmith ever recovers

I wanted Carson Wentz. But Dak working out makes getting Zeke at #4 look like a stroke of genius. For the record...I think had we gotten Carson Wentz at #4 we would have been ok as well. Probably would have gone RB in the 2nd.
I wanted wentz too but had we did what it would have taken to get wentz we wouldn't have had a 2nd pick
I'm mighty happy the way things turned out

he makes the offense look different and yes it's still all about the oline.

I agree the offensive line opens mammoth holes, but it also takes a special player to move the rock.

That 60 yarders, if it were Julius Jones, he would have run into Martin, bounced off and fell backwards for the four yard loss. There might even be a possibility he stumbled into a defender who collapsed on Dak and put him out for the season.

I don't hesitate admitting that I'm a homer but it's been quit sometime since I sit on the each of my seat
when A RB enters the game. Zeek does that.

Love Zeke. My first and final mock draft had me picking Zeke; it just made great sense for the direction of our team. Hopefully there's a lot more to come from our 2016 draft class ;)

What's it going to be then, eh?

Should have drafted Jalen Ramsey. Then Barry Church would be saying the same thing about him. Or something.

Well, Wentz doesn't look too bad right now either. I said trade down but we hit the jackpot with Zeke at 4 and Dak in the 4th round. Unreal.

Is he talking about how big his head is?

It's like a friggin' ANVIL. I first noticed it when he punished the ____ out of Bama in the Natty a couple years ago. The man has a hard head. Emmitt was the same way. Never had a concussion that I know of. Walter Payton: same. There's tough, and there's super human. Emmitt and Walter were the latter. Fingers crossed on Zeke.
