Sometimes, the best choice is not the first choice.
The Cowboys weren’t trying to draft Emmitt Smith in 1990, remember? Their first choice was James Francis, the Baylor linebacker. They just couldn’t deal up in the draft to get him. Instead, they moved around to get Smith.
That worked out. You never know.
When the raft of Cowboys’ veterans left in the offseason in free agency and retirement, did you know that left guard Ron Leary would be the hardest to replace? So far, almost halfway through training camp, it’s working out that way. It may not be that way long, but that’s how it is now. And it’s a big deal. Leary may have been the least known of the Cowboys’ offensive line starters, but that doesn’t diminish the importance of the position
