There are certain draft years that feel more vivid than others in retrospect and 2016 is certainly among them. Amazingly it has been six years since Dallas Cowboys fans debated over the merits of Jared Goff or Carson Wentz being the team’s pick at number four overall. With the Cowboys coming off of a season where Tony Romo missed 12 games, there were many people wanting to ensure that the future of the most-important position in the game was taken care of, and by an incredible stroke of luck the team did manage to address it with the selection of Dak Prescott in the fourth round.
