I was hoping he'd be there late 2nd so I could package him with Bell or DJ


Guess I'll hope for a later pick so I can pair him with someone like Freeman or Gordon or Howard

It's the situation, not the player. If Zeke had an injury like Breaux, who isn't playing or working out in the preseason, I would worry about him missing 6 games, and not being in football shape as TL was talking about. But Zeke is practicing, and I'm sure will get some snaps in preseason games.

So, I'm not worried about whether he would be good to go when the suspension is served.

My thing is yes picking him hurts your chances at making the playoffs but increases your chances greatly if you can still sneak in there.

In what's pretty much a winner take all scenario I think it's probably worth the risk.

Even if his suspension isn't reduced he will likely file an injunction and could play the whole season.

2nd round pick for a minimum 4 games




All that matters is the playoffs. Not sure whats so funny, unless you are a shitty drafter missing him most the reg season dont matter. You draft him to lock up the playoffs, bottom line

Drafted last night. Week 15 & 16 is our playoffs.. So I will have him for 7 weeks before.

2nd pick of the third round. I went Bell, Hilton, Zeke.

My keepers can be either Zeke and Julio or Bell and D. Thomas who do you go with. PPR.

In order I'd keep Bell, Julio, Thomas, then Zeke.

I know my example is going to be an extreme outlier. But I got him middle of the 6th round in my draft last night.

Trade position evaluator:

It all depends on when you have to grab Dmac.

Like say you have the first pick in the 2nd round(pick 11), if you can grab Dmac after your 7th round pick(pick 71), then you should grab Elliot.




However if you have the 21 pick in the draft, you SHOULD grab Elliot, because you'll never have to spend a 4th on DMAC, you can easily wait til the 6 or 7th.




Dmac will give you a few good/serviceable games while you wait for Zeke. You can have that 3rd pick production for lesser draft pick slots. He should go in the 2nd round, it just depends on how soon you feel you would have to grab Dmac if you should take the plunge.

I'm not sure I'm understanding what you are saying. How are you supposed to know if dmac is available in the 7th when making your 2nd round pick?

The question I was coming here to ask is how early do you take dmac?

I'd take hi once you fill out your other slots. He'd be my 1st depth pick so 6th/7th IMO.

If the Cowboys have a slow start how much will he be playing when he gets back? Good shot they finish last in division

So I snagged Zeke with 1st pick of the 3rd round. I was initially excited that he fell that far, but then my next best RB after him is Ameer Abdullah, and someone scooped McFadden way earlier that I thought he'd go...

I figure if you're taking Elliott then you will need to take dmac early.

Don't sleep on Calvin Cook.

I'd pull the trigger on that, btw

That's the issue I have with drafting Elliot. It will likely force me to reach for McFadden.

That guy is basically giving you a 1st/2nd rnd pick and a team's #1 WR for zeke.. take that no doubt
