Re-draft of 2005 would remove a significant part of Dallas Cowboys history

Way back in 2005, the Dallas Cowboys entered the draft with two first-round picks. Anticipation was high for what the Cowboys would do during the draft; when you have pick #11 and #20, you should come way with some solid firepower. The Cowboys did that.

With pick #11 they took DeMarcus Ware. For just about a decade in Dallas, Ware was a sack machine and was one of the most-loved Cowboys players, and still is to this day. When the Cowboys transitioned out of a 3-4 to a 4-3, and faced a salary cap crunch, they had to let Ware go.
