Not going to lie i was skeptical, but he's looked really good tonight early against SEA. Great burst, vision, cuts. IDK, maybe it's time to buy into the hype as a late-1st.

Every RB out of Ohio St since Eddie George has been a bust. No thank you.

I don't get hyped over practice games either.

Hyde is legit, just needs to stay healthy. Elliott looks really good.

Same thing was said about Beanie Wells

are you actually watching the game right now? He's passing the eye test with flying colors. I know it's preseason, but still. He's racking up big chunk plays with Dak in against the SEA starters.

By who? I'm a better judge of talent than that guy. Check my yahoo case, m8.

Carlos Hyde did the same thing in his rookie year.

To be fair, Hyde might actually excell in Chip's system this season

They haven't had this Dallas line, either. It makes Alfred Morris and Darren McFadden look like all pros. He should be fine as long as he's healthy, IMO.

Elliot looks powerful and explosive. I didn't buy the 1st round hype mainly because he is a rookie but I can see it now.

I agree he looks good but let's see how he responds in a real game when they count and someone introduces the rookie to the big game.

Tell me you actually think there is some correlation to Zeke's potential and the results of Eddie George and Beanie Wells however long ago that was. I just want to know if you are even stupider than I thought.

Why? It's not like Elliot is some scrub. He tourched Saban's defense in the playoff. I am no fan of the Big 10 but Elliot is the best rb product over the last few years and he's running behind an elite line. They are smashing Seattle's starters.

I don't draft after the season starts.

Nobody is saying he's the top pick, but after Gurley, AP, Bell and maybe Johnson he's the next back I would take. I've seen enough to take him above guys like Miller and company.

I've actually seen people saying that he is. I'm not going to take him until later if he is available still. I don't mean like 3rd or 4th round. But I'm just not confident enough in a rookie that's played one preseason game to take him really early.

meh...Hyde is maybe a decent talent but on a bad team.

Zeke is a freak athlete with the best OL in the league.

RB should be on the uptick the next few years with Johnson, Gurley, Elliot, Fournette (depending on landing spot), Cook and even chubb

Bruh, they're playing for real out there. Did you see when Kam Chancellor, a multi-time pro browler, lit him up after the whistle? Zeke went out NEXT play and lowered his shoulder and spun off of him for like a 9 yard run.

Kid is legit and I wouldn't question someone drafting him a the #1 overall RB after seeing him last night.
