Ezekiel Elliot

[dlf4lyfe]

I think this kid deserves his own thread. Definitely the Top Devy RB right now imo (over Chubb). Has the skill set to excel at the next level. Size + Speed + Vision. Hopefully the Buckeyes limit his carries this season, would had to see them run him into the ground.

Looks to be the premier back for the 2016 draft that's for sure. I'd be interested to see if anyone has some scouting material on him at the next level?

I am going on record to say Elliot is the #1 RB in 2016 and if Chubb doesn't heal from his knee injury than Elliot would only be 2nd to Leonard Fournette for #1 Devy RB

He's a talent thats for sure. I would say the best RB to come out of OSU since Eddie George. The big difference, is he doesn't have the miles on him like Eddie had at that point in his career. Plus coming out 1 year early.

Is this worth an early 1st round pick? Or does it depend on his landing spot?

Talent over Situation. Regardless of where he ends up he will garner a top pick in the 2016 Rookie Draft.

Easily a 1st round pick, this kid can play

Honestly - based on early scouting (and I emphasize early), he's my 1.01.

I honestly think the guy is just as good as Gurley, if not better.

You must be asking about a start up...Correct?

I agree with you that I'd take him over Treadwell at this point as the 1.01, but I don't think he's as good as Gurley from a talent perspective. I do think it's close, but Gurley is the most talented RB to come out in the last 10 years. Zeke can play, but i just don't think his talent is on that same level.

I haven't watched enough of Zeke to compare him in any way to Gurley. I have however watched a lot of Treadwell and a decent amount of Zeke. I think Zeke should be clearly over Treadwell as the 1.01 (obviously there will be plenty of teams that don't need RB so they will take Treadwell instead of trading the 1.01). Treadwell looks like he's going to be a really good WR that will never quite live up to the "stud" hype that followed him into college. He could obviously prove me wrong. I'm just speaking from what I've seen.

Zeke looks like he has a great all around game. I don't see any "elite" ability like we all did in Gurley. But I see him playing all facets of the RB position on a much higher level than Treadwell does at WR.

The reality is it will be way easier for Zeke to climb near the top of the RB food chain than it will be for Treadwell to bypass the 20 WRs that have the skill to be a WR1.

[Arkived]

I absolutely agree.
