Now, if we just relied upon the number one pick from Buffalo, and the fact Buffalo might have sucked (but didn't) -- meaning this number one was very valuable, and we knew there were three, maybe four backs all about equal, and we simply just got lucky because no one else picked JJones, then this is another kettle of fish. I surmise we knew what we were doing. Add in how this number one leveraged the draft this year, the extra one and the emergence of JJones could be the turning point for this franchise after a long dry spell. JJones is one of the best young prospects we have had in a long time, I mean, not even Emmitt Smith has generated the expectations that Jones did with his brief performance [View Full Quote]last year. I know one thing, there are very few runners in the league that I would trade straight up for JJones. And to think he came adorned with a pick that turned out to be Marcus Spears is too good to be true. |
I don't know if we truly targeted JJ, but Parcells did say (before the draft) he thought that JJ was the most explosive and possibly big play back in the draft. Whether we got lucky that no one else picked him or not who knows. He was there, we picked him and he's a Cowboys now...that's all that matters. |
