Earlier this offseason, Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones publicly proclaimed the need for his team to find a proper war daddy. In his own colorful way, Jones was referring to a premier pass rusher, something this Cowboys team has been without since releasing defensive end DeMarcus Ware back in early 2014.
As has become the norm in Dallas, the Cowboys brass did little to nothing during free agency, opting to use the draft to build their roster instead. But possessing the 28th overall selection, the team had to settle for Michigan defensive end Taco Charlton, a player whom they didn’t even have a first round grade for.
