Passing on Mason Crosby didn't make sense. Crosby had a 70% touchback rate on kickoffs while Folk's rate was 59%. He is an extremely accurate field goal kicker with a career 76% conversion rate. So, he's better than Folk in both categories. With Crosby in Dallas, only one roster spot would be required for a placekicker.

Watch Crosby throughout his career, and this will be just another one of those Cowboys' draft picks that, in the future, will make the fans wonder if anyone was paying attention or just throwing darts at a board.
