With the 28th overall selection in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys selected Michigan defensive end, Taco Charlton. Two games into the 2019 regular season, the Cowboys up and released Charlton. That, my friends, is a draft blunder of epic proportions.
Adding insult to incompetence was the fact the Cowboys left Wisconsin linebacker T.J. Watt on the board to select Charlton who was viewed as a better scheme fit. Watt has gone on to record a total of 34.5 sacks for the Pittsburgh Steelers over three seasons and earned himself back-to-back Pro Bowl nominations over the past two years.
