Then there was the failed run of selecting tight ends in the second round: Anthony Fasano (2006), Martellus Bennett (2008) and Gavin Escobar (2013). That same time frame is littered with some very bad choices: Dwayne Goodrich (2000), Quincy Carter (2001), Antonio Bryant (2002). Al Johnson (2003) had two years as a starting center and was done after that. Only Sean Lee (2010) and Julius Jones (2004) had impactful careers in Dallas. Very Few Picks Paid Offīetween 2000-2013 the Cowboys made 14 picks in the second round. But it isn't like the Cowboys of the 21st Century have made the best of picks in the second round.
DeMarcus Lawrence was followed in successive years by Randy Gregory, Jaylon Smith, Chidobe Awuzie, Connor Williams, and Trysten Hill.Īll five are on other NFL rosters and only Gregory and Smith showed flashes of being solid picks but eventually fizzled out. The jury is still out on Kelvin Joseph (2021) and Sam Williams (2022).īut you have to go all the way back to 2014 to find a second-round pick still on the roster - or who has even lasted beyond four years. The picks in this round from the last three years are still on the roster, but only Trevon Diggs (2020) is a starter. That's a trend the team needs to reverse. From 1961-2019 only nine of their 64 picks in the second round have made any significant impact during their time in Dallas. The second round of the NFL Draft has been historically unkind to the Cowboys.
