The Dallas Cowboys' affinity for making daring picks in the draft's second round is now a well known thing. When this site started tracking the club's draft commandments, the original count was eight. But in looking back over the historical trends and tendencies in 2016, a ninth was quickly added. The club uses their second-round pick to take a huge risk. Whether it be a character flag, medical flag or wild swing for the fences, Jerry Jones insisted on trying to game the system by taking a huge risk in the round.
Entering the 2016 draft, the wild swings included trading up for Morris Claiborne and the character flag group centered around Randy Gregory.
