Elliot is a smoke screen. We want Dallas to take him with the hope that our real targets Ramsey, Jack, or Bosa fall to 8. Only way we take Elliot is at 13 imo.
Because we have bigger holes then at running back thats why. Our pass rush is a injury away from being non existent. We have holes all over the secondary. The O line is still a mess and a injury away from again being a turnstile.
Running backs are not the same thing like 15 years ago.
C.j Anderson/Ronnie Hillman, can't even name you the walk on New England used in the super bowl, Marshawn Lynch, Ray Rice, Ahmad Bradshaw/ Brandon Jacobs, James Starks.
Those are the running backs that won the past 5 years. Lynch was the lone first rounder and the defense in that game destroyed the Broncos. It's just a new age, it's just not smart to use a high pick on the position with the highest risk of injury and the shortest lifespan in the league.
He better be ****ing 2002 Ricky Williams if Miami trades up for him.
According to these metrics Henry might be the better prospect anyway.

Here is my problem. I remember Trent "can't miss" Richardson. Going to be an elite RB for years to come. So good the Browns traded up (yes, I know, it was the Browns). Now EE is "can't miss." He will single-handedly improve the Dolphins O. Pardon me if I have some degree of doubt. I'm familiar with 'but ALL selections have risks.' That's true, but they only cost one draft pick. That said, I'm not AGAINST drafting EE. He is one of 5-6 I'll take with no complaints, BUT, I'm against any move up.Forgive me for having missed the other previous 38 threads on Elliot. But the naysayers claim, and perhaps rightfully so, that you can get a RB in any round. But all the genuine experts actually involved in NFL and college scouting (not just forum warriors) say he's the next big thing. Well...perhaps any back works IF you have a solid line though, right?? When was the last time we had a solid line to make a mediocre back look even above average?? Maybe we should have kept Miller but not for that price and it's a moot point anyway. Why are so many people ready to jump off a bridge at the possibility of drafting what could be an absolute stud?? With a new coach that brings a lot of promise for the offense I would think that's an exciting prospect. Now, I don't pretend to know as much as you guys do. I'm just a loyal fan since birth but I'd really like to know why so much disdain at that possibility. I personally would be damn excited to see this move. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Running backs aren't worth anything anymore. They are plug and play. See Demarco Murray.

I do not expect him to be Ricky Williams. But I think he can be an Emmitt Smith. And would I trade up to add an Emmitt Smith to our team?
Damn Skippy I would.
