Best draft class

Over at ESPN they have a vote going on to decide what is the best draft class ever. There are 32 classes but I was really disapointed to see that only one Cowboys class made the list. It's set up similar to the NCAA college basketball bracket. The number 1 seed is the 1974 Stealers draft class. I really can't argue with that because four future Hall of Famers came out of that class. The only Cowboys class that made it was the 1975 class.

You all can take a look at the classes that they picked but personnaly there are 2 or 3 Cowboys classes that should be on there over some of the classes they picked.

they took the best draft class from each team

and entered it into the bracket. So each team has 1 draft class entered in the competition

Didn’t realize that but still I don’t think that 1975 was our best draft class.
