Dallas Cowboys 2016 - The Road to Super Bowl LI

[Underdog]

Oakland inexplicably moves ahead of us to get Connor Cook, even though they already have Derek Carr... Apparently Jerry was pissed when it happened.

Cowboys take DE Charles Tapper with pick 101 instead.

Cook just screams journey-man backup to me.... Tapper is 271lbs and ran a 4.59 and looks like he didn't just rush qb every play, he had other responsibilities. I'll take that upside.

The general consensus is that Tapper was misused in his last 2 years... Seems like a solid pick though.

But I still don't get why Oakland moved up to get Cook when they've already got an excellent, young QB in Carr -- seems like they wasted a pick just to stick it to the Cowboys for whatever reason (ghost of Al Davis?)
