But Ill give you a few examples that no doubt you will try to say wasnt possble.
2014 draft we took Zack Martin with the 16th pick. Aaron Donald a stud DT was taken 3 picks earlier at #13. Trade up 3 spots. The guy is arguably the best pass rusher in the NFL. Rated #1 in the NFL in 2016.
I also believe Chandler Jones was traded from the Patriots to Arizona a year or two ago for a 2nd round pick. I would have done that one all day.
Both Chandler Jones and Calais from Arizona are unrestricted FA's this year. Get one.
So in 7 years all you could was come up with ONE GUY!? That's my point. These guys just aren't there available like you think they are. There's not a Demarcus Ware in every draft.
You can't just "trade up" without giving compensation. The Cowboys were in no position to give up any picks especially at that time. You don't remember how bad this offensive line was prior to getting Zach Martin, Frederick's and Tyron.
Aaron Donald is a beast. I'd love to have him on my team. But Zach Martin has had a better career. Just what it is. Same goes for JJ Watt and Tyron Smith.
My initial question was what pass rusher did the Cowboys pass up and the only thing you can bring up is Aaron Donald who was taken before we picked. But ok.
