2016 Dallas Cowboys draft picks: Analysis for every selection

Todd Archer breaks down the 2016 Dallas Cowboys draft class.

Round 1, Pick No. 4: Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Ohio State | Highlights

My take: The Elliott train started rolling in the final couple of weeks before the draft with the way Elliott rolled as a running back for Ohio State.

The Cowboys had eight rushing touchdowns last season and their leader was Joseph Randle with four, despite playing in only six games.

The Cowboys are looking for Elliott to do what DeMarco Murray did for them in 2014, when he ran for 1,845 yards.
