When I think about the best picks in the history of the Dallas Cowboys, obviously the triplets (Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin, and Emmitt Smith) come to mind.

As you can see, most of these picks have ended up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The only one out of this bunch not to make it will probably be Ezekiel Elliott. I'm pretty confident that Martin, Frederick, Witten, and Woodson will end up there as well.

Looking at this list, it occurred to me that while Jerry Jones has had his fair share of good picks, historically, the best picks ever were prior to him taking over the team. Just thought I'd point that out.
