A fun 5-year review on the 2015 draft. Looking back on it, this draft was absolutely pathetic, but the Cowboys ended up with the best pick of anyone with the only A+ Walt gave out. Normally I'm not a WF reader, as Walt is a Philly resident and is generally as terrible of a human being and as big of a Cowboys hater as you'd expect from reading that. But this "where are they now" review is pretty good, and his analysis this time around seems fair.
It's not crazy to say that we ended up with the 2 best players out of that whole first round with Jones + Cooper either.

Five-Year Grade: A+ Grade
The 2015 NFL Draft class had a dismal first round. I've given out many deserved "F" grades. Byron Jones, however, is an oasis in a desert of putrid draft selections. He's been a spectacular player for the Cowboys, as he's even been recognized as one of the better cornerbacks in the NFL. This deserves a very clear A+ grade.
Original Write-up:
So much for the Cowboys picking Randy Gregory. Byron Jones makes a ton of sense. I had him going 20th overall to the Eagles, which I thought was a slight reach, so the 27th slot seems like the right area for him. He also fills a big need. Morris Claiborne has struggled, while Brandon Carr is overpaid. The Cowboys were desperate for corner help, and they landed an extremely athletic player as a probable upgrade.
