When the clock stuck midnight on the final day of 2017, Dallas Cowboys fans screamed for change following the conclusion of the final week of the NFL regular season. America’s Team capped off Week 17 with a lackluster victory over the playoff bound Philadelphia Eagles, 6-0. And in doing so, dropped their opening selection in the upcoming draft from 16th overall to 19th. That drop will ripple down through all the rounds for Dallas.
Whether the Cowboys made the right decision to play their starters to win that meaningless game or not is yet to be determined.
