FRISCO, Texas -- The NFL draft has come and gone, and the Dallas Cowboys feel good about their additions. If they didn’t, then something would be seriously wrong.
Those picks have created some in-house winners and losers.
ESPN's Bill Barnwell named Tony Pollard as a “winner” in the draft because the Cowboys didn’t select a running back until the sixth round in Deuce Vaughn, believing it could lead to a multiyear agreement with the franchise player before the July 17 deadline.
Pollard wasn’t the only winner for the Cowboys, and a few players drafted in recent seasons could qualify as “losers" because of how the Cowboys approached the draft, especially when you consider legendary Dallas coach Tom Landry’s three-year rule -- a player has to show he can contribute after his third season -- isn’t really in vogue anymore.
