Stephen Jones: We are in position not to reach for a RB or any player

[Coogiguy03]

They like what they did in FA lol with 10 picks you can't get one at least?? Lol

While I think he's out to lunch, it's also draft week. Take everything with more grains of salt.

Well, there goes the “We needed to take a guard at 12 so we can have a dominate run game” theory.

The Joneses just continue to spit in the faces of the fans that believe in them.

 

[Howboutdemcowboys31]

This draft moreso than most in recent memory is full of guys who can get it done rounds 3-5

Now WR that’s a different story they better get on that round 2

And this is why we have 30 years of failure. At least with Jerry we had excitement. This is a football team that is built as if Jack Welch were at the helm.

This is my issue with the Jones

They constantly are patting themselves on the back thinking they orchestrated the 85 bears defense and the 98 Vikings on offense

That’s what the worst part for me

I used to love the draft and had fun. It’s just meh now

Could be the opposite approach to Jerry falling in love with Brooks last year and not caring who knew it. I'm guessing there are some guys there in the 2nd or 3rd round they hope make it to their pick. If they don't come out with a back on day 2 it's a major draft fail if they think 2 free agency backs that have averaged 4 ypc the last 2 years have them set.

LOL.

Again, this franchise’s approach to RBs is idiotic dating back to post-Murray.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

I can't stand listening to Stephen but the Cowboys have actually done a nice job masking their draft intentions this year. There was almost no buzz at all about them going offensive line until hours before the pick this year (and even then the media got it wrong thinking Grey Zabel).

So I don't think too much about this. Tyler Booker was clearly a Schotty/Klayton Adams pick. If the staff wants a RB at 44 or 76 tonight I think they are taking one.

 

[Dools29]

We got a SB roster so just drafting for depth

 

[reddyuta]

I know,this is exactly what they thought last year and will repeat it again in a historically great RB draft. I genuinely believe we won't draft one today and may not draft one even in the 5th rd.Stephen Jones is a poster child for the Dunning Kroger effect.

YEAH. Gotta be bluffing.

We don't really feel like we have to pick a position anywhere. We don't feel the need to have to reach.

Nothing wrong with basically saying...we are not going to reach for a need.
They did not bring in a number of RBs for dallas day and 30 visits and did not meet with a number of RBs at the combine or pro days because they dont want to draft a rb.

Nice, yep.
The infamous special teams draft.
LOL

NOPE

 

[montgod]

I could definitely see them going cb/dl in the 2nd round if Burden isn't there

That's what I was thinking. The Cowboys aren't going to show their hand and say they want a RB at 44 or 76. There are a ton of good backs in this class and they can even wait until the third round and get either a power guy like Skattebo or a speed guy like Dylan Sampson or Byshal Tuten.

The dline is pretty spent at this point in the draft you are just getting JAGS

 

[CT Dal Fan]

NOPE

They really want to justify giving up a 4th for Mingo I guess.
