The Elliott pick was classic Jerry Jones: reaching for a big-name player when he could have addressed more pressing areas of need. The pedigrees of Elliott, Ajayi and Tennessee’s DeMarco Murray are very different. He’s averaged 152 rushing yards per game since.

Regardless of the paths Elliott, Ajayi and Murray took to become No1 backs, the story is that running still works.
