With another draft on the horizon, we take this opportunity to look back on the five best and five worst Cowboys draft piicks during the ownership of Jerry Jones.
Top of the Class
1. Troy Aikman
Draft: 1989, first round, first overall
Position: Quarterback
The first player the Cowboys selected under the ownership of Jerry Jones became the most successful quarterback in franchise history. Aikman wasn’t the most mobile or the most accurate quarterback, but he was at his best in big games. The team captured three Super Bowl titles during his leadership and he was named the MVP of Super Bowl XXVII.
