By Staff Reporter - 25 Apr '16 11:16AM

NFL news and rumors continue to be focused on the NFL draft coming this week in Chicago. During this time, leading up to the draft, rumors and speculations appear on what teams will draft who.

It has been rumored that the No. 1 and 2 picks will be Jared Goff and Carson Wentz, but who will the other picks go to?

The Dallas Cowboys are holding the No.4 overall pick. Rumor has it that the team will use the pick to draft Ezekial Elliot as a running back, The Inquisitor states.

Previously the Cowboys had Elliot flown in for a pre-draft meeting and even a workout.

Yibada reports that NFL reporter, Ian Rapoport tweeted, "Tomorrow morning, #tOSU RB Ezekiel Elliott flies to Dallas for a pre-draft meeting with #Cowboys. They previously worked him out in Columbus."

Elliot is known to have positive stats like the size of his body and running speed.

"He runs with speed, power, and maintains his balance while fighting for every inch he can get," states Brian Martin of Inside The Star. "He has exceptional vision, patience, and waits for the blocks to develop. Once he sees a crease he puts his foot in the ground and explodes up the field."

Yet it's also known that the running back position is becoming more and more devalued, making it unlikely for a draft pick for a back will be made in the first round, reports The Inquisitor.

Another reality that makes Elliot an unlikely pick is his partying habit, according to Journal Sentinel.

"Elliott likes to party and the college life," the site reports. "'You worry about him missing meetings and staying out all night,' an AFC scout said. 'He's an alpha male.'"

It's also rumored that the coveted running back has a high possibility of going to the Baltimore Ravens. Football fans will have to watch the draft this Thursday to see the final results.
