When the curtain closed on the 2017 NFL Draft just a few weeks ago, the Cowboys front-office sent a clear message to the team - let the battle begin. The NFL is an ultra-competitive environment as it is and Will McClay said it best last week when speaking about how he relates to young players:
“I tell them all when they come in that I love them but it’s also my job to replace them. It’s important we get them to reach their potential.”
Creating a high level of competition throughout the team was line one for Jason Garrett since he’s been the head coach, and that goal was executed upon once again in the draft.
