VIDEO: Colin Cowherd's Take on Cowboys Draft History Should Ban Him From Dallas
By Michael Luciano
In need of some topics for his show due to the coronavirus-induced sports shutdown, Colin Cowherd was once again spewing complete garbage about the Dallas Cowboys as they work on a new contract with quarterback Dak Prescott. Cowherd claims that the Cowboys should be weary about giving Prescott the bag in contract negotiations because they haven't "nailed" their drafts in recent years. Dude, this couldn't be further from the truth.
Colin is wrong, the Cowboys have been great at drafting

If there is one thing even the staunchest Eagles and Redskins fans have to admit about the Cowboys over the last few years, it's the fact that they have nailed it in the draft. They have drafted players like Zack Martin and Ezekiel Elliott, who many consider to be the best in the league at their positions.
Between nabbing Prescott in the fourth round and drafting the likes of Leighton Vander Esch and Michael Gallup in recent years, Dallas has killed it in the draft. What counts as "nailing" a draft if picking seven Pro Bowlers over the last seven years doesn't?
Death, taxes, and Ezekiel Elliott rushing for over 1,350 yards.

In his 4-year career, Zeke has eclipsed that mark 3 times already. That is more than Le'Veon Bell, Todd Gurley, Melvin Gordon, David Johnson, Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley, and Alvin Kamara have COMBINED!
Dallas has built one of the best rosters in the entire league. You want to know why? The Jones family knows a thing or two about talent. There's making a mistake, and then there's outright lying, and Cowherd is doing the latter here.
