Spoiler Alert
Dallas got an A+...up from a C- on draft day
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/...arn-high-marks-cardinals-drop-from-b-to-an-f/
Dallas Cowboys
2016 Grade: C-
The Skinny: The Cowboys had nine picks in the draft and seven are still with the team. This is the draft that built this Dallas team. They took running back Ezekiel Elliott with the fourth-overall pick. He has proven to be everything they expected. The took a big risk taking linebacker Jaylon Smith in the second round after he tore up his knee in the bowl game. Now he's a big part of their defense, flying all over the field. But the best pick came in the fourth round when they landed quarterback Dak Prescott, who has started all 48 games. They also landed starting nickel corner Anthony Brown in the sixth round.
How I did: I loved the pick of defensive tackle Maliek Collins in the third round, and he has been a nice part of their defense. I questioned the move to take Smith, but who didn't? Dallas was right and we were all wrong. My third-day gem was Prescott, which has really paid off. I didn't like taking Elliott because of position value, but this draft paid off in a big way.
New Grade: A+
