The Dallas Cowboys had the chance to draft J.J. Watt and passed. They don't
regret it.
Watt was available when the Cowboys went on the clock with the ninth overall
pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. Dallas did its due diligence on Watt but
settled on left tackle Tyron Smith. Watt went to the Houston Texans two
picks later.
"Yeah, that's a long time ago. We liked him a lot," Garrett said of Watt,
according to the Forth Worth Star-Telegram. "We did spend a lot of time
investigating him, getting to know him. That same year we took Tyron Smith
so we feel really good about that decision. All those decisions we made very
consciously and very deliberately and certainly that first pick was
critical for us.
"We felt like we needed to get some cornerstone players, and Tyron Smith was
coming out that year, and we felt like he can be a left tackle and be a
cornerstone player for us," he added. "We felt he had all the traits to be a
great, great player for a long time at a really important position, and he'
s certainly off to a good start." |
