Newcomer Trent Sieg was an undrafted free agent for Baltimore that year and is the only other 2018 member. The 2018 class boasts three players who were drafted by the Cowboys with linebacker Leighton Vander Esch, wideout Michael Gallup and defensive end Dorance Armstrong hanging on.The 2017 draft has one player remaining who was drafted (Jourdan Lewis), one player who was a free agent pickup (Malik Hooker) and an undrafted free agent in quarterback Cooper Rush. Quarterback Dak Prescott is the lone draft pick from the 2016 draft for the Cowboys but Jayron Kearse was drafted that year also by Minnesota.Demarcus Lawrence, Zack Martin and Brandin Cooks are the only players drafted in 2014.Defensive lineman Jonathan Hankins is the only player from the 2013 draft on the roster.Pass rusher Dante Fowler carries that same distinction for the 2015 class.The 2012 draft class is now gone but cornerback Stephon Gilmore and punter Bryan Anger were drafted that year by different teams.Left tackle Tyron Smith is the lone remaining player from the 2011 draft class making him the longest-tenured Cowboy.Grading draft classes has always been a fun exercise in almost any capacity so breaking it down even further is just as entertaining. While four of the five traded players were former first-round picks, Hankins was selected in Round 2, 49th overall, back in the 2013 NFL draft. That leaves defensive lineman Jonathan Hankins as the only player on the 53 who got traded to Dallas AND has suited up for a regular season game. This team is betting on youth & buying low while doing it. Whether either pan out long-term or not doesn’t matter. The #DallasCowboys pulled off two trades this week. Quarterback Trey Lance was acquired during training camp while cornerback Stephon Gilmore and wideout Brandin Cooks arrived during this past offseason. The newest member of that group is cornerback Noah Igbinoghene who was a first-round pick by Miami in 2020. Player trades in the NFL are not common, yet the Cowboys find themselves with five players who were acquired by this method. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports
