Cowboys' Draft Picks: Rebuild or Repeat History?

0:00On April 14, Dallas Cowboys sitting pretty with the number 12 and number 20 picks in the first round of the 20-26 NFL Draft. That's two shots to rebuild and dominate, but their history under Jerry Jones screams caution-plenty of first round whiffs that still sting fans. Today, their drafting game was fire in the 2010s, stacking pro bowlers and all pros, but the Mike McCarthy years flipped the script with more misses than hits. Now, with these high picks next week, everyone's watching if they can flip back to that elite level. Fans are buzzing with nerves, knowing those busts crushed the team's rep and left holes in the roster for years. Solid careers turn sour expectations, like passing on legends or grabbing guys who couldn't stick. Take recent tackle Tyler Gytin Draftype, faded fast with injuries stealing his reps, leaving questions if he hits that top potential. Then rewinds at Greg Ellis in 1998, a decent 84 sex guy, but no Randy Moss superstar.

1:00Felix Jones in 2008 rushed for under 3,000 yards before bouncing, same year corner Mike Jenkins grabbed just 10 picks total. Bottom line, Dallas can't afford another swing and miss these picks could redefine the franchise or just add to the warning track of regrets.
