After going 13-3 in 2016, it seemed like the Dallas Cowboys were only one player away from getting over the hump, and the team just needed a war daddy. In fact, here’s what Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told Jean-Jacques Taylor on ESPN Radio last offseason.
“If I have a chance to bring one of these premier pass rushers, one of these ‘war daddies’ that takes two to block, if I have a chance to get a player like that, I would.”
That led the Cowboys to take Michigan defensive end Taco Charlton with the 28th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.
