The Dallas Cowboys had a good draft class, but one pick stands out above all others, however there’s a big “if” attached to it.<\/em><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0for most, knocked their draft out of the park with the franchise sticking to their board (of drafting true as its called) and picked the best available player when it was their time on the clock.<\/p>\n

Tyler Booker and Donovan Ezeiruaku were the first two picks taken, and fans were happy with that. However, when the third round came around, Shavon Revel Jr. was still on the board.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Cowboys couldn’t turn the card in fast enough. Had it not been for his ACL injury, many had Revel Jr. as a first-round talent, and Dallas got him.<\/p>\n

For ESPN’s Matt Miller, Shavon might just be the biggest steal of the draft.<\/p>\n

“Revel’s elite size and playmaking ability had him looking like a first-rounder before he tore an ACL in September,”\u00a0Miller writes. “The Cowboys didn’t need a corner in this draft, which shows how much they valued Revel. They got him nearly 20 picks lower than I had him ranked. This could be one of the biggest steals in this draft if he gets healthy and develops into a future starter.”<\/em><\/p>\n

We’re not sure about the “didn’t need a corner” argument; the Cowboys themselves privately disagree.<\/p>\n

Indeed …<\/p>\n

With\u00a0Trevon Diggs’\u00a0knee injury likely seeing him sit out at least the early portion of the regular season, Dallas needed another corner who could potentially start, and that might be Revel Jr., ready to go once training camp starts.<\/p>\n

Granted, that is a high bar, and Dallas will play the cautious game with their prized draft pick, in the hopes that he will ramp up his progress over the course of training camp and might be ready early in the regular season.<\/p>\n

The tall, long, corner is known as a “boundary bully,” and the Cowboys who managed to “steal” him in the third round might have just got themselves another good, starting corner.<\/p>\n

And a draft steal at that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
