The #NFL draft Shedeur Sanders saga is Keeping Up with the Kardasians for men. Convince me otherwise.

Having never seen an episode of KUWK, I think it would be incumbent upon you to convince me of the comparison. I guess one parallel is that Kim and Shedeur have famous parents. What else?

I'll give you that. Now, if Deion transitions into a woman, the analogy is complete

Or the dirty dozen for the Cowboys in 1975.

You know...that's a good one. Randy White, Hollywood Henderson...I may revamp the list. Put Butkis and Sayers as an Honorable mention. Will think about it. Good call and thanks for reading.

Very interesting and researched story. No Cowboys draft under Jimmy Johnson?

Good call. I was considering the '91 draft, since a number of Dallas starters for their SB teams — Maryland, Lett, Alvin Harper, Erik Williams and Dixon Edwards — were picked. But none were Hall of Fame players. Had Lett and Williams stayed healthy, they very well could have made it to Canton, which would have made that '91 class worthy of the list. (True, the '86 Niners draft had just the one Hall of Famer but that they got so many high-calber starters from that class [8] and the way Walsh managed the process made that draft too remarkable.)
