I can name perhaps once or twice where my favorite first round draft crush ended up being a Cowboy.
Who? Just curious. (Nevermind. I read further in the thead. Carpenter, huh?)
The four players I was hoping would be Cowboys.
1.
Tony Dorsett. Loved him in college, and he's the reason this former Commanders fan is now a Cowboys fan.
2.
Roy Williams. He was a beast in college, and I was so elated when he became a Cowboy. His first year, he was a monster. Then, somehow, somewhere, he fell off.
3.
Jason Witten. I was hoping he'd land on the Cowboys. I had to leave the draft after the first round to go umpire a baseball game. When I came back later that day, I was happy to hear the Cowboys drafted him.
4.
Troy Aikman. I'm glad the Cowboys lost the last game of the season and the Packers lost also so Dallas got the first pick of the draft and changed the course of a franchise and NFL history.
