    Gurley just came off a serious knee injury and tore up the league in his first year. It's hard to imagine him being better than Todd.

    Depending on where he lands, I expect him to do it.... Some people said Dallas at 4... I don't know if he'll go that high because teams are shying away from RB in the first round, but to me, he's a sure-fire first-rounder and he probably just elevated to the top 10 with his combine? If he's not better than Gurley, he won't be far behind...

    Again, it all depends on where ends up...

    I think he will be a 1st round pick but I dont think he goes quite that high.

    Only team I can see pick Elliot in the first round is Houston ... But this is a weird draft for offensive skill positions so anything can happen.

    I agree with Ev with the fact Gurley is superior to Elliot.

    Edit: meant to say highest I can see him go is to Houston. Should be the only back in the first round

    Dallas will take Miles Jack with the #4 pick because that is where their desperation need is atm.

    Colts own a higher pick and I can see Elliott being taken off the board there before Houston gets a shot (barring a trade). Philly at #13, NYG at #10 are another two possibilities but I think those are stretches based on what the teams truly need.


    The best RB in the draft is going to go on day 2...when Derrick Henry gets claimed...he'll be a steal for who ever takes him...he should be the first RB off the board

    Agreed. Elliott is a great talent, very versatile and blocking ability, but Hurley Gurley is still a head of him in terms of level of skill set. I hate Jerry Jones, but I have to admit Elliott running behind that Dallas OL would be fun to watch.

    That's true to a degree, but honestly it's an overplayed canard. Rumor has it they're done with Run DMC as their primary back and looking for options. I'm not saying Dallas should take Elliott at 4, but I wouldn't put anything past Jones.

    That's scary and true.

    I know in my keeper league, my team flat out sucked last year and I am sitting with the 1st overall pick. If there's one place I need help, it's at RB.

    Unless he breaks something before my draft, Elliott will be the player I am taking and hoping he turns into something special.

    I'm stuck with the no.3 pick, so I have no hope he'll slide to me.

    Take Henry. He's much better than advertised.

    Good to see him landing in a nice spot. I honestly didn't think the Cowboys would take him this high but I think once Bosa went off the board at 3, the choice became even easier for the Cowboys.
