In the world of player acquisition, the NFL draft is king for the Cowboys. The team has largely bypassed free agency to focus on nailing its selection of draft prospects in late April.
To the surprise of many, the Cowboys have actually been one of the better drafting teams in recent years, which is the reason they're one of the league's youngest teams.
The biggest key to Dallas' success in the draft has been nailing the first round. Since 2010, only two of its nine picks can be labeled as misses (Morris Claiborne and Taco Charlton), though it may still be too early to call Charlton a miss.
