Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks

Dallas moved up from No. 14 to No. 2 in the 1977 draft and selected Tony Dorsett, a future Hall of Fame running back who immediately helped a championship team. The Cowboys paid four selections, including two second-rounders, but Dorsett’s star-level production and longevity made the aggressive move an A+ outcome.
