Cowboys rank in top 5 on offense and defense for PFF’s best drafting teams in the first round

The Dallas Cowboys are a good drafting team, which is fortunate considering they depend heavily on it to build their roster. Of course, maybe they depend heavily on it because they are so good at it. Cause and effect.

Regardless, the draft is what this team does well, and they are especially good at landing great talent on Day 1. This has been something the team has hung its hat on for quite some time, as their first-round résumé is quite impressive.

2010 - Dez Bryant
2011 - Tyron Smith
2013 - Travis Frederick
2014 - Zack Martin
2015 - Byron Jones
2016 - Ezekiel Elliott
2018 - Leighton Vander Esch
2020 - CeeDee Lamb
2021 - Micah Parsons
2022 - Tyler Smith

Over a span of 13 years, the Cowboys landed 10 players who earned All-Pro honors.
