Following the 2016 NFL Draft, no one knew which team made the best selections. In fact, many say you need to wait three or four years before judging the ultimate outcome of a draft. But the Dallas Cowboys certainly made the event exciting.
With the fourth overall selection in the first round, the defensive-needy Cowboys shocked the sporting world with their selection of Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott. Dallas followed the Elliott pick in the second round with a selection that blew the roof off the Auditorium Theatre at Chicago’s Roosevelt University.
With the 34th overall pick, the Cowboys chose injured Notre Dame linebacker Jaylon Smith.
