The Cowboys 2016 draft haul was outstanding. They got Ezekiel Elliott. They got Dak Prescott. Even Jaylon Smith still has a shot at turning into something special.
And when we look back at the 2014 draft, that one wasn’t too shabby either. Zack Martin and DeMarcus Lawrence are going to be rich men this offseason. And the fourth-round selection of Anthony Hitchens has definitely been worth the investment as we hope the team is able to retain him as well.
But then if you go back a year further, you’ll find the less extraordinary 2013 draft.
