The Dallas Cowboys have stuck to a Best Player Available system the past few years and its served them well. Seems they have no plans to deviate from that course in their mind.
Having the best offensive line in football should mean they have a responsibility to get a top running back to take advantage of it. That’s why they decided to go with Ezekiel Elliott, a dynamic runner tailor-made to get it done.

This is just how good a player the team has brought onto their roster according to the Mocks scouting network.
"After taking the handoff, Elliott displays good patience by allowing the play to develop and giving his blockers time to engage. Once the blocks are set, he utilizes very good vision to find the hole. Once he finds the running lane, Elliott showcases his athletic ability and burst by making one cut and exploding through the hole to the second and third levels of the defense. His play strength and low pad level allow him to push forward and maximize yardage after contact. Solid ball security, as he lost just one fumble (and that was the result of a poor exchange between the QB and RB) this season as a RB despite the large workload. He possesses elite competitive toughness, stepping up in critical situations when the Buckeyes needed him the most."
