That's one of those, four years down the road, when the rookie contracts are expiring, where the pick has the potential for being one of those extremes that is referenced forever like Portland passing on MJ to pick Sam Bowie or the Colts going with Manning over Leaf.
Several years ago, Dallas was blasted for picking a center (T. Frederick) who was rated as a second or third rounder. Turns out he has been a pro bowl performer and every day starter since day one. On the other hand, they were praised for trading up and taking the top CB in the 2012 draft (M. Claiborne) and he has just plain busted. If Ezekiel turns into the next AP, well, then "Brilliant." If not, or if Jalen Ramsey is the next Ronnie Lott, well, then "Derp!" ... but that's kind of how the draft works.
Unless Ezekiel really outperforms Ramsey and the Cowboys fix their DB's, I am thinking they will end up regretting this pick.
