On April 23, 2020, the Dallas Cowboys officially started the clock on Mike McCarthy with the first round of the NFL draft. Having the 17th pick in the draft, Dallas hoped to find someone to jolt some energy into the fanbase.
Like fans saw this season in Dallas’ matchup traveling to Philadelphia, the ball doesn’t always bounce your way. However, the draft gods were smiling upon the Cowboys on that fateful night from the lounge chair of Roger Goodell. Somehow, some way, a wide receiver named Cedarian Lamb fell to Dallas, and the war room couldn’t turn in the card fast enough.
