FRISCO, Texas -- So what should give you real hope about the Dallas Cowboys as the page turns to 2017?
Without question it has to be the draft class of 2016.
On Monday, ESPN Insider Bill Barnwell tweeted a chart with the snaps played by rookies in 2016. The Cowboys were fifth with 3,003. They were the highest playoff team in his list. The Cleveland Browns' rookies played 4,390 snaps, which might be one of the thousand reasons they won one game.
