Cowboys have curious draft, but the organization deserves the benefit of the doubt

FRISCO -- The Cowboys deserve the benefit of the doubt.

A franchise that often frustrated its fan base with confounding and erratic performances during the draft has settled into a successful rhythm. Recent years have seen this organization earn respect for its execution and expertise.

Trust has replaced skepticism.

What took place over the last three days shouldn't undermine this narrative. But ask yourself this: What would people be saying about the class of 2019 if this draft had taken place 10 years ago?

The Cowboys use a second-round pick on a defensive tackle who started one game in his final year of college and follow that by taking an interior offensive lineman who may not be active on game day as a rookie.
