Laufenberg: 6 times the Cowboys have had a top 5 pick since 1970

[BAT]

3 of those 6 players went on to have Hall of Fame careers (Randy White, Tony Dorsett, Troy Aikman). Who were the 3 that did not?

I hope this pushes Elliott even more.

Niland, Too Tall, Maryland, Newman and Morton were all top 5 picks I belive.

• Russell Maryland (good, but not great player)
• Terence Newman
• Ed "Too Tall" Jones
• Craig Morton
• John Niland
• Scott Appleton (never played for Dallas, signed with the AFL Houston Oilers)

I love Babe...but he didn't have all the facts I believe.

Niland, Too Tall and Morton.

1 out of 3. Nice try. But Niland was drafted in 66, Morton in 65. 1970 is the key word, I guess its Babe's cut off for modern era.

Too Tall is overdue for both the Ring and The Hall IMO.

Thank you for point out my oversite. However, all of the picks form 70 on are listed. LOL.....
