We didn't have a high enough pick.

And no one was worth what it was going to cost to trade up.

Not with Romo still playing.

I'd still like to see them take chance on a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round.

I hope you guys are ready for a legit home run threat! :towel

Ha! Have fun with your 2 INT per year DB, Jax!

...and Jalen Ramsey's out of the NFC, too, so the 2 INTs won't be vs Dallas every year.

Yeah, I've never been more lukewarm about getting what I wanted. Missing the top QBs took the wind out of the sails.

Unfortunately there wasn't anyone that really thrilled me at 4. Especially with Bosa gone. I wanted to trade back. I'm sure Elliott will do great here. Just don't like RBs this high.

Plus next year will be stellar for RBs.

I wasn't on the Zeke train, but frick it. Guy could put up 2,000 behind this line if he stays healthy.

Yeah. I have to see I feel like this was a reach. An RB at 4 should be Adrian Peterson. This guy isn't. HOWEVER, no player will make this team better than he will. So, I guess I'm OK with the reach. Gives us something to really get excited about.

I get what you're saying, but I don't think it's a reach.

Explain please for those of us at work.

ESPN reported we had a trade offer to move back to either six or seven but decided instead to just take Elliott at four. I think the Ravens wanted to come up.

Not sure if I should say. Spoiler? I guess it is still just speculation but still, seems obvious now.

Well, now you can say what you observed...what was it?

Pete Prisco hates our pick.

Shit we should have taken that.

I like the Elliot pick. Not thrilled, but it was the best move in our position

No question about it. I think the Cowboys freaked thinking that Elliott and Ramsey would go 4 and 5. Absolutely stupid to be scared of that but oh well.

Lots of guys on Twitter ripping it too. When the alternative is a tweaner DB give me the dominant RB

Stanley over Tunsil

I actually feel Ozzie made a mistake here.

If there was ever a year to miss out on the top 2 QB's, this is the year.

I was just glad it wasn't Ramsey. The way things fell, it was either Elliot or trade out, for me.

Deuce · Apr 28, 2016

I like Ramsey and think he'll do well in Jax, he just wasn't what Dallas needed. Getting Zeke isn't a dream come true, but he very well may be a Leveon Bell clone and that would be dynamic for this team.

A few minutes before the draft started RB coach Gary Brown was the only position coach in the War Room. He sat next to Garrett and looked pretty happy.
