Ezekiel Elliott Draft Profile [Feedback Wanted]

[woofermazing]

His blocking was so good that he was stealing carries from himself. I would compare him to Arian Foster, but faster. He has a very rare skill set and is going to be an unbelievable steal if he's in the bottom half of the first round.

I think it's hard to come up with a comparison for him.
Marshall Faulk ? There's some tradeoffs though... and it's a bit much to go straight to HoF.
Maybe Matt Forte ? But he's a liability in blocking and proven receiver.
Few guys have his combination of speed and physicality... a lot of the ones that offer comparable benefits w/o the ball are more accomplished receivers.

Yeah. Taylor had a pretty nice first cut, acceleration and top gear... But that was me misreading then reading your post, and thinking, I wasn't sure what you meant. But Fred Jackson obviously is a different thing. I remember Taylor being rather good in pass pro, too. But that's about where I'd end it. (Really, though with fewer injuries, not a terrible outcome, Taylor had a nice career and had he been more healthy, would have been better than nice)

McFadden maybe? (Forget the poor guy was in Oakland for a million years)

Faulk was really (and its just me maybe) was more of a multifaceted speed back... Not a knock but a guy like him or Thurman Thomas were somewhat smaller and most effective put in space from the get go.
