The Dallas Cowboys have finally made their first-round selection at the 2018 NFL Draft at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
And the pick was one that many had suspected for the past several weeks: Leighton Vander Esch. The Boise State product had an excellent junior season and NFL Combine that propelled him to a likely first-round draft choice.
The build-up to the choice was heavy as Cowboys' legend Drew Pearson riled up the crowd from the stage. His antics drew waves of cheers from the crowd. But once NFL commissioner Roger Goodell finally took the stage and announced the organization's choice, the Dallas fans in attendance produced a tepid response.
