The Dallas Cowboys chose to skip over one of the draft's top prospects in Florida State's Jalen Ramsey to select Ohio State's Ezekiel Elliott with the 4th overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft on Thursday night. Despite the presence of Darren McFadden and Alfred Morris on the roster, Jerry Jones couldn't pass up Elliott's talent.
The Cowboys are known throughout the league for having an outstanding offensive line, and the idea of putting Elliott behind their nearly insurmountable wall should be a terrifying thought for the rest of the NFC East.
Cowboys fans, for their part, were justifiably excited about their team's newest skill player.
