Cowboys Have Earned Your Draft Trust
http://cowboyszone.com/
...2014: Zack Martin, DeMarcus Lawrence, Anthony Hitchens – This front office picked Martin over Manziel, that appears to be a pretty smart move, drafted Lawrence, who has shown flashes and Hitch, a mainstay at linebacker since he’s come aboard.
2015: Byron Jones, Chaz Green, Damien Wilson, Geoff Swaim – Jones is already a very good player, with a chance to be playing in multiple Pro Bowls, while Green might be the starting right tackle and Wilson might be starting at outside linebacker (something that might have occurred in 2016 without an odd paintball accident). Swaim, meanwhile, has also become an integral part of the running game.
2016: Ezekiel Elliott, Jaylon Smith, Maliek Collins, Charles Tapper, Dak Prescott, Anthony Brown, Kavon Frazier, Rico Gathers – This list is pretty self-explanatory. There are Pro Bowlers, stars and key contributors from this draft, and we haven’t even talked about the potential of Smith and possibly Uncle Rico. This was an outstanding haul from the front office in last year’s draft.
There are a lot of Pro Bowlers, stars, future stars and big-time players for the Cowboys that have been drafted since Jason Garrett arrived, especially since McClay has taken a larger role. Of course there have been some swing and misses (cough-cough Gavin Escobar), but that happens, drafting isn’t an exact science. For the most part, though, this regime has done a very good job of building through the draft and finding the right players, even when fans felt it was the wrong pick (cough-cough Travis Frederick). So if you feel that Taco Charlton was the wrong decision, be patient, let’s see what happens. The Dallas Cowboys coaches and scouts have earned the benefit of the doubt, especially over the last few drafts.
