Last year when he was whining on social media, it was obvious that he was soft. They should have cut him then and saved money.

Dallas ultimately failed by drafting him. However, ESPN had Charlton as the 22nd best prospect in the 2017 draft and Mike Mayock ranked him 49, which is squarely in the second round.

Charlton was never considered a third or fourth
Round prospect.

In recent years, he's in the company with Felix Jones and Bobby Carpenter.

Before that, there's Shante Carver.

The end of the Landry years landed us a handful of 1st round duds also.

Obviously Felix and Carpenter were misses too. However Felix at least put up some yards and had some good games. Bobby Carpenter at least hung around 4 years as a reserve. Shante Carver, Ekuban, and Lafluer are up there too. What do almost all have in common? They were drafted as big needs.

It's not like the Cowboys haven't dealt with attitudes before. I think the kid could play - he showed something in the preseason.

Hope this doesn't come back to bite us.
I don't see how we put up with Greg Hardy...but gave up on this guy after he was flashing in the pre-season.

First round pick or whatever . . . smart move by the Cowboys.

We're trying to win this year, and Taco Charlton was retarding our growth with his ego and personalty problems.

It sucks to lose the pick. But we must move on from him if we're trying to win.

Love the move, actually.

Get him outta here.

NFL moves fast. Taco was chilling. Was he volatile?
Good move to dump him and move on!

TACO EXPERIMENT CRUMBLES!
The question is who takes a roster space?
And, Mateys, maybe a safety?
Ahem.

A first round pick getting released after just 2 seasons...………………..dam, that might be some sort of record. Has that ever happened here before?

Bobby Carpenter played 4 seasons, so yeah, I think Taco now replaces him as the biggest draft bust in recent history.

The fact that we couldn't even get a late round conditional pick for him tells me that the rest of the league doesn't like him either.

Rest of the league aint stupid, they know a scrub when they see it...………...even the trash Dolphins didnt want him and they are losing on purpose this year:laugh:

We basically need to stop drafting the workout warriors and pay more attention to what these guys actually do on the field in college. Sure, we may miss on a diamond in the rough, but we sure has heck wouldn't be punting away 1st round picks for guys like Taco Charlton.

Don't recall the board celebrating much on that pick.

Most of this board hated the pick to be honest, I would say over 90% wanted Watts little brother.

That is what is so hilarious when a certain group of fan boy posters on here always say "the organization knows better than you keyboard warriors". When that happens again, I will just post a pic of Taco.:laugh:

2017 draft. 4 still with the team?

Code:
1       28      Taco Charlton   DE      Michigan
2       60      Chidobe Awuzie  CB      Colorado
3       92      Jourdan Lewis   CB      Michigan
4       133     Ryan Switzer    WR      North Carolina
6       191     Xavier Woods    S       Louisiana Tech
6       216     Marquez White   CB      Florida State
7       228     Joey Ivie       DT      Florida
7       239     Noah Brown      WR      Ohio State
7       246     Jordan Carrell  DE      Colorado

Dam, only 4 out of 9 still on the team...………….and its only 2 years later.

When over 50% of your draft class is not on the team just 2 years later...….that is an EPIC FAIL, grade F draft.....cant sugar coat that.
