Let’s say the Ravens accept the proposed trade offer last and move back 2 spots to 6. “I’m excited to get back to Jerry Land and put on a show”. The thought of Elliott running behind the Cowboys offensive line for years has to make every team in the National Football League afraid to face the Cowboys offense. Not only is he a very good receiver, but Elliott is also the class’ best pass- protection back. That completed a three-game onslaught where Elliott ran for 696 yards to finish his sophomore year. Sure he doesn’t excel in one thing, but he is good all across the board. Defense can be had in the later rounds, but a player like Elliott is a rare opportunity to have. Even when healthy, Dunbar is a change-of-pace back; far from the “bell cow running back” Elliott described himself as in a conference call last night with the Dallas media.

For Elliott (or any other running back), Dallas would definitely be the best fit.
Now with a future hall of famer throwing to him on Sundays, you can bet that Thomas will have plenty more highlight reel catches to add in the years to come.
Darren McFadden had a decent 2015 season, but there is no telling when his health problems will start up again. McFadden wasn’t a game changer. Elliott questioning his coach publicly is more damning than the fact he was right. Though Elliott provides a boost to any ground game, the decision continues a worrying trend in Big D where one side of the ball pales in comparison to the other. Ezekiel Elliott can replicate what DeMarco did in 2014. Dallas will be needing him to come through with a big season to take pressure off of Romo. You can’t stack the box because that leaves Jason Witten and Dez Bryant single covered. With Carlos Hyde entrenched as the starting back, Elliott played sparingly as a true freshman, finishing with just 30 carries for 262 yards and three total touchdowns. It’s the Cowboys highest draft position since 2012, when they selected LSU DB Morris Claiborne with the sixth overall pick. It was a performance for the ages, on the sport’s biggest stage. Unless they really love a specific one, why not just wait a couple picks to grab one?
As a senior in high school, he scored 44 touchdowns in a 12 and scored 264 points, best in the St. Louis area. Ezekiel Elliott doesn’t crumble under the spotlight, he elevates his game. Conventional wisdom holds that the Florida Stare cornerback Jalen Ramsey is at the top of the Dallas Cowboys shopping list, so should the San Diego Chargers pass on him and opt to take the Ole Miss’ offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, then Dallas Cowboys will jump. The Elliott pick not only helps the offense, but the defense as well.
