I said the day Murray walked our running game isn't going to be the same with average backs despite the OL and that the Cowboys are going to eventually end up having to use a #1 on an RB...BINGO! Drafting an RB who has the chance to be an elite back in the NFL especially behind our OL was the right move. Although we desperately need defense all the top defensive players had holes. No one seems to know if Ramsey is a safety or corner and he only had 3 career INT's. His ball skills were being questioned he even admitted he needed to work on his ball skills. You don't draft a DB with questionable ball skills at #4 overall when your team needs a playmaker in the secondary. I've mentioned several times all the championship teams the Cowboys have had were led by an elite runner.
The Cowboys had Duane Thomas in the early 70s who helped lead them to their first championship in 71. They had Tony Dorsett in the late 70s who helped lead them to a championship in 77. They had Emmitt Smith who helped lead them to 3 SB wins in the 90s. The best season the Cowboys had under Romo was in 2014 primarily due to having the leagues leading rusher who took a lot of pressure off Romo and helped keep our defense off the field an average of 12 fewer plays than in 2013. Only two defenses spent less time on the field in 2014 than the Cowboys defense and that was Pittsburgh and Seattle. Ball control helped keep our defense fresh and from being exposed as much.
A fresh defense is naturally going to play better. Zeke is an all around back he's got the speed to take it the distance and the power to pick up a yard to keep the chains moving on 3rd down. Not only can he produce yards and but he's a TD machine scoring 43 rushing TD's at Ohio State. He's a punishing runner who can wear down a defense and can pick up the dirty yards. He's a good receiver out of the backfield and he can block. I'm excited about the pick and the potential of what he can do behind our OL. Having a dynamic runner that defenses have to respect is going to make a big difference and will certainly help Romo. Those of you who are unhappy with the pick don't have a clue. You won't be unhappy with the pick for very long when you see what a difference maker we added to our offense.
