Ezekiel Elliott
No player is going to impact this team like Elliott will. I'll steal from an article on BloggingTheBoys. Garrett likes to put up his words of wisdom all around the facility. One of the ones that gets prime real estate is Finish. Finish. Finish. These words are for the coaches and management as well. Hoping Henry is there at 34 is not finishing. Settling for Alex Collins or whoever in the 3rd or 4th is not finishing. Elliott is finishing. Total RB from a big time program who doesn't turn 21 until late July (same b-day as Sean Lee btw).
He does everything the team wants in a RB. I don't see how an OC or an offensive-minded HC doesn't look at Elliott and drool all over himself at the kind of match up problems he creates. He's Dunbar in a feature RB's body. Only concern is party rumors, which either takes him off my board or doesn't.
Myles Jack
If there's a Hall of Fame guy in this class, I'd put my chips on Jack. MLB in a 4-3 is a critical position. Finding an every down one who runs like Jack does is pretty rare. Covers like a Safety and that's not even hyperbole. Makes the entire D better.
Jalen Ramsey
I feel like CB is a generally overrated position in the modern NFL but I can't deny this guy ticks all the boxes as a player, athlete and person + the draft class is generally weak + CBs last forever. It will be nice to a have a CB that doesn't get rag dolled by WRs blocking (ahem, Mo and Carr). Probably better as a FS but plenty good at CB.
Emmanuel Ogbah
This year's super late sriser. Severely underrated. Might be the only first round DE capable of running from weak side (maybe Lawson), but large enough and strong enough vs run to play strong side. Unique physical attributes and QB killa mentality. Not a boom or bust guy. He's boom or solid. Full throttle every snap. Not as refined in technique as Bosa or Lawson but creates much more havoc and actually uses the long arms his parents gave him.
**Tunsil would be #1 but he can't be on the Cowboys' board as anything other than bait for a trade.
