What is with all of the Ramsey love?

Because he was the #1 rated DB in this draft, and with 4 DB's unaccounted for in 2017, in a league where you have 5 of them on the field for a majority of snaps, it seemed like a pretty smart investment. He was a world class athlete, was regarded as probably the best defensive prospect, and didnt have baggage.

Not saying it was the right pick, but its easy to see why.

Yes. AD for All Day, which is his College Nic.

Well, hit me on the head with a mo-ped, bloke!
All this time I thought AD stood for ADrian.

Just goes to show you, all of us are continually learning and growing.
Thanks for the intel, mate!

Don't mention it EM.

This is not a fair comparison, anymore then saying Elliot had better be the next AP. If you are going to hold Ramsey to that standard, then you have to do the same with Elliot and the odds of Elliot being the next AP are pretty slim IMO.

I agree that the player you get at 4 should be a HOF cornerstone player for you but we just picked a player who may not even be with this team in 6 years.

I can see EE breaking AP's rookie record this season. Not even kidding.

the same can be said of EE. We already had a running back on the roster that was the 4th overall pick. he is faster, and had more yards in college too.

You think DMC is still as fast as he was in college? La'el Collins caught up to him in the GB game. Come on man.

What rookie record does AP hold?

I gave Elliott a nickname as soon as he was drafted. ED. EVERY DAY.

I didnt mean record, my bad, i meant his Rookie Rushing stats. What is the record for a rookie RB anyways?

LOL...

No, that's a burden I wouldn't put on you GTB. Maybe Eddie Murphy.

1,808 by Dickerson.

If Elliott can match what AP did, I'll quickly change my tone. Not counting on it, personally.

If DMC can get 1000 plus not starting the first 4, you dont think Elliott can get 1300 in a full season?

I think he could, based on volume. AP did it on 5.6 per. That's barely human.

1808 yards at 4.5 YPC is over 400 carries. I, for one, hope he doesn't come close to that.

51 catches, too. That's 451 touches in a season. That's crazy.

Gruden cut him up pretty good on draft night he showed how lazy and not aggressive he was on some plays. No love fest there.

Well, we are talking about a guy that had what 4 runs for Td's over 80 yards? If this guy gets into open space its over. And with our line, im expecting a lot of those runs. My fantasy team hopes so too haha

Gruden can only speak in hyperbole.

Honestly guys, we got Ramsey literally a year ago. Byron Jones is the equivalent of Ramsey. I dont know why so many are upset that we didnt take him over Elliott. At least we know Elliott is a RB, Ramsey projects better at safety than corner, and doesnt want to play safety. You dont allocate 26 million to a guy who doesnt even know what position he is better at, or a guy with 3 picks. I dont care what people say, he was targeted plenty and didnt come away with the ball. At least with Zeke we know what we are getting.

We didn't draft him, so we have to rue. If we had drafted him instead of Elliott, we'd be rueing the loss of the best RB since sliced bread.
