Do the Cowboys fall asleep on the third day of the draft?

The Dallas Cowboys have done fairly well in the first three rounds of the draft over the last five years. From 2016-20, 12 of the 14 players they drafted in the first three rounds developed into primary starters, i.e. a player that started at least eight games in at least one of the last five seasons.

Outside of 2017 first-round pick Taco Charlton, who lasted only two years in Dallas, defensive tackle Trysten Hill is the only player not to have started at least eight games in a season, and his second season ended on injured reserve after starting the first five games.
