I’m discounting his talent level at that slot.It really wasn't an overreaction. Elliot was the consensus among many many scouts.
But rather did we have greater needs for that pick. And could those have made more impact over time if we’d had selected a RB well in 2nd or 3rd round. Did we really need to use that level of talent on that position with our OL with other pressing needs on defense?
But I’d argue after 2015 RB by committee debacle we did sense that we needed a top RB to fill the void left by Murray. That appeared to be the consensus from our front office . And why it was considered a reactionary pick by some.
