The Dallas Cowboys just selected running back Ezekiel Elliott with the No. 4 overall pick in the first round.
And that has repercussions for the Miami Dolphins.
As Elliott was the only offensive player the Dolphins were willing to trade up for in this draft, they are obviously not going to be trading up for an offensive player.
The Dolphins are also unlikely to fill the running back need in the first round now that Elliott is off the board.
So where does that leave the Dolphins?
Jalen Ramsey remains on the boad and he is a cornerback. Myles Jack remains on the board. And the chances the Dolphins trade up to, say, No. 8 overall to grab a player is all but gone.
So do the Dolphins jump higher to pick Ramsey? That question will have an answer soon enough.
[Update: The Jacksonville Jaguars get Ramsey. He stays within the state.]
