The Taco saga: Why he was drafted in the first place, and why the Cowboys were smart to let him go

The Taco Charlton era is officially over in Dallas as the team officially parted ways with their 2017 first-round draft pick on Wednesday. The Cowboys front office has such an incredible track record in landing star talent on Day 1 that it brings about a little disappointment when one of them doesn’t pan out. Of course, that doesn’t happen very often as Charlton joins Morris Claiborne as the only two first-round players the team has drafted in the last 10 drafts that didn’t turn into All Pro’s. Wow. Marinate on that a little.
