There is always a certain excitement that comes with Draft Day as every team is 0-0 and  set to add some brand new talent to their roster. History tends to repeat itself, however, making it increasingly valuable to look at previous draft day successes and failures of the Cowboys brain trust. Jerry Jones has been the team’s General Manager for more than 20 years, but for sake of brevity we will keep it to the last decade. Also, Stephen Jones has taken over a large bulk of the personnel type decisions over the past decade, making those picks more relevant to 2016. Here are just a few of the incredible hits and devastating misses the Cowboys have endured during the last 15 drafts.
