Ill go with the Cowboys, simply because I think Ezeke is really special and will be the best player out of this draft

But I really do like the way the Jags are shaping up

And if doctors are correct regarding the nerve in Jaylon Smiths' knee, I like his long term prognosis over the death sentence in football that is micro fracture surgery for Jack

Jags, especially if you factor in need. Cowboys could've drafted a 1000 yard runner in the 4th behind that line. The two LBs are essentially a wash.

Well that's just it. The last time the Cowboys had an elite QB/RB/WR combo like this running behind a beastly OL, they won 3 Super Bowls. Having a decent RB is one thing; having an elite runner who can catch and also protect your QB better than any other RB in the league is another.

I also think Smith is a better prospect than Jack overall, and it seems like he may end up having the better long-term prognosis.

Jack's issues appear to be degenerative. I don't expect much of a career from him.

It'll come down to what the teams get from their 2nd round picks, I think both Ramsey and Elliot are gonna be pro bowl/all pro caliber players. I'll say the Jags right now because Jack was a top 10 talent, but if he barely plays and Smith has a good career after missing the 2016 season then it'll be Dallas.

When you factor that talent, plus filling needs, it's Jax, and I don't even think it's close.

Before his injury, Jaylon Smith was a top 5 lock and even considered a likely top 3 choice.

Bingo. You never draft a RB that high.

Smith may not play this year, Jack will.

Shutdown corners are harder to find than #1 backs.

Jags: Got an immediate impact player in Ramsey that fits well with their defensive scheme and got a potential pro-bowler in Jack...even if his career might be short lived.

Dallas: Got an immediate impact player at RB (a position they were currently deep on after signing Alfred Morris in FA) and got a good player Smith but he likely will have to sit out all of this season and who knows if he will ever be the same guy again.


Edge: Jags easily, if for no other reason than both of their guys can contribute immediately.

Cowboys could have gotten Ramsey at 4 and this guy named Derrick Henry in the 2nd round...if they really wanted a RB that badly.

Or could have waited and got this guy. Next Terrell Davis, I can see it now.
