Ezekiel Elliott

ANALYSIS
Elliott's Ohio State career was nothing less than legendary, and he was arguably the most important player on a team that went from underdog to an unstoppable machine in the 2014 College Football Playoffs. He ran for 696 yards (9.2 YPC) and eight touchdowns while pummeling Wisconsin, Alabama and Oregon that year, and he finished the 2015 season in a similarly dominant fashion by torching Michigan and Notre Dame for a combined 363 yards (6.4 YPC) and six touchdowns. At 220 pounds with good pass-blocking tape, Elliott safely projects as a three-down back in the NFL, which gives him especially good dynasty upside. Pre-draft workouts will go a long way in determining Elliott's exact draft placement, but a spot in the first round seems highly plausible. Elliott showed very good vision at Ohio State, and his combination of leg drive and high motor allows him to pose a major big-play threat even if his speed isn't quite in 'burning' territory. Elliott looks like he could be another Corey Dillon.
