Dallas Cowboys won’t hold the train for Taco Charlton

For some, the 2019 NFL Draft undoubtedly reminded them of the Dallas Cowboys‘ recent successes in the first round. The Cowboys’ top selections in 2013 (Travis Frederick, center), 2014 (Zack Martin, guard), 2015 (Byron Jones, cornerback), 2016 (Ezekiel Elliott, running back) and 2018 (Leighton Vander Esch, linebacker) have all become Pro Bowlers.

And then there’s 2017. With the 28th overall selection in that draft, the Cowboys selected a developmental defensive end out of Michigan named Taco Charlton. Enamored with his size (6-6, 270), Dallas hoped Charlton would eventually grow into a War Daddy role in Big D.
