Fans of the Dallas Cowboys may have former defensive end, Taco Charlton, to thank for a change in their draft philosophy in 2020. As a result, the Cowboys landed exciting rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb.
In a story that has now become infamous, the Cowboys selected Charlton out of Michigan with their first-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft over current Pittsburgh Steelers’ linebacker and three-time Pro Bowl pass rusher, T.J. Watt. The reason was that Taco was deemed a better scheme fit than Watt.
