Jerry Jones likes flashy playmakers, and the Cowboys may have just added the best one in the draft.
Dallas drafted Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott with the fourth overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft.
Elliott to Dallas had been much discussed, but when the Chargers surprised everyone by taking Joey Bosa third overall, it raised questions about whether the whole rest of the draft board had been blown up. By taking Elliott, the Cowboys did what many expected them to do.
In addition to being an excellent runner, Elliott can block and run pass routes. Ohio State coach Urban Meyer called Elliott the best player he ever coached without the ball in his hands.
In an offense with Tony Romo, Dez Bryant and Jason Witten, there are a lot of playmakers in Dallas. Elliott should look good with a star on his helmet.
