For a while, it has looked like the Dallas Cowboys were locked on K’Lavon Chaisson if he was there when they went on the clock with pick 17 in the NFL Draft. Things fell right for them, with the Atlanta Falcons seen as the big threat to snatch the EDGE, but electing to take CB A.J. Terrell instead. So Chaisson was there.
BUT!
So was Oklahoma wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who definitely slid after being seen as a likely top ten pick. And in what seems a major shift in the organizational philosophy, the team went with the best player, rather than the one that fills the biggest need, and took the offensive weapon for Mike McCarthy, Kellen Moore, and Dak Prescott.
