Cowboys' Taco Charlton: Picked 28th by Dallas
The Cowboys selected Charlton in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft, 28th overall.
Analysis:
Charlton (6-foot-6, 277 pounds) was the leading pass rusher on a dominant Michigan defense, posting 10 sacks in 11 games in 2016. In the NFL, however, he profiles more as an edge-setting, strong-side end -- the kind of player who maybe sprinkles in a couple seasons with double-digit sacks, but mostly offers a steady, anchor-like presence rather than an edge-bending threat.
