Taco Charlton may have been the big winner of this past weekend’s Big Game, though his Wolverines lost an overtime affair against the hated Ohio State Buckeyes. The 6-foot-6 Charlton could definitely start on the strong side of a 4-3 defensive scheme, and his ability to split double-teams was on full display in front of a national audience this weekend. He was even able to chase down Buckeyes running back Mike Weber, which was certain to catch the eye of the plethora of NFL scouts at the game.

Dallas hit a home run with their draft picks in 2016, and while nobody expects that every year, they do have an opportunity to add to an already impressive roster. They currently own the best record in the league at 10-1, and many believe they have the talent on offense to go all the way. The Cowboys have done a nice job bolstering their offensive line in recent years, and rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott has established himself as arguably the best back in the league.

Picking last in the first round is always a tough task, as the players you probably want the most are gone by the time you get to select one. However, it also means you are the Super Bowl Champions, so I am sure the Cowboys would love to pick at No. 32 in April. They are set on offense for the foreseeable future, and if a prospect like Charlton were to pan out, it would just be another outstanding draft for Jerry Jones and company down in Dallas.
