As things turned out, we were incredibly fortunate to land both Dak and Zeke when we did. It's easy to look back and postulate what we might have done otherwise if we knew in advance what would transpire. All in all, our drafts are going substantially better than they were a handful of years back. The future awaits us with welcoming arms these days, thanks to some sound and timely decisions on draft day. It'll only get better.
So we would have ended up with Wentz
This just shows you how lucky the Pokes are to have Dak. They spent a lot of time trying to trade up for Connor Cook and the loser on Denver. Dak was practically the last man standing. No one in the organization gets credit for the most fortuitous draft pick of all time for the Cowboys. It just goes to show that it is very hard to know who reaches their ceiling in college and who has room to grow. Let's not forget the can't miss QBs, David Klingler, Drew Henson, Jamarcus, the kid from UT, Sanchez, and so many other USC QBs who turned out crappy, Ryan Leaf and so many others. Sometimes you just get lucky and that is what happened to the Cowboys. If it were up to them Dak would be playing for some other team and we would have Paxton or Connor stinking it up for us.
10 years from now we may very well look back on the 2016 draft as one of our best ever.
