So you’re looking at the Cowboys’ draft picks this year and wonder just what kind of player might be around when the team picks at No. 27. Then again, let’s make sure we say “scheduled to pick” because with Jerry running the War Room, who knows what will happen.

But if the Cowboys indeed pick at No. 27, there should still be some pretty talented players around. In the last five years alone, guys like DeAngelo Williams and Roddy White have made the Pro Bowl and Larry Johnson wasn’t too far behind either.

So for what it’s worth, let’s go back the last 20 draft classes and look at the No. 27 overall pick:

not sure if that's a list of decent nfl players, but then i saw the name rae carruth. i can say it confidently that few picks had players conspiring to kill their girlfriends, but pick 27 does. some nice company.
