Is Dak the best Cowboys draft pick in the last 20 years?

[CowboyRoy]

What are some others?

Best pick? I'm not sure. He's in the conversation with guys like Tyron, Fred, Martin, Zeke. He is a QB so that certainly elevates his value tremendously.
He's absolutely the biggest draft steal in the last 20 years though.

Based on draft position and qb, those other guys are behind.

I'm good with that.
We probably win 5 or 6 games tops in 2016 without Dak.

Witten was a 3rd round pick and will go into the Hall of Fame.

Maybe 3 wins in 2017 and 3 in 2018?

Definitely a great pick.

3 in 2017 because of the Zeke suspension. Maybe 5 in 2018 because the defense was much better.
Y'know, Buffalo Bills territory.

This is about value. Martin the better player, dak the better pick.

 

[RS12]

Zack Martin a future HOFer so no. So is Jason Witten and possibly Tyron Smith.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Wow. Martin? Witten? Frederick? Really?

Only 6 players in Dallas Cowboys' entire history have made 4 all-pros in a 5 year span:

Chuck Howley
Emmitt Smith
Randy White
Bob Lilly
___________
Larry Allen

[TheMarathonContinues]

Value wise? He’s up there. A franchise quarterback with a late 4th?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Yeah people are naming 1st rounders......that’s not better value. Witten would be a candidate as a 3rd rounder. Hard to find better value than Dak.

There's some kind of troll buried in here, being as how this is from the mind of the CowboyRoyTroll, but...

Dak was a good pick, but remove the fluke rookie year and he's performed about what you'd expect if you throw a dink and dunk QB on to a running team with a good OL. Lots of QBs from Nowhere U could be a bottom third QB with those conditions.

Travis Frederick was not widely viewed to be a first round pick so in my mind the Cowboys actually having the nerve to take him there in addition to being incredibly correct about it makes him the best pick in my eyes.

 

[MojaveJT]

He is probably the best bang for the buck in recent memory.

To have a 4th round QB, have the success he has, he’s been playing better than where he was drafted.

Keep in mind, I’m not a Fak homer but I also don’t have agendas. I call a spade a spade.

Cowboyroy is one handful here that in this social media age have to be working for Dak's PR dept.
There really is no way to explain there troll madness of a below to average QB at best.

P.S. I wish Daks throwing capabilities we're as good as his Public relations....

The OP’s thread/question only pertains to draft picks selected in the last 20yrs.
