Jerry Jones knows what you are thinking.

As host of the 2018 NFL Draft, set for April 26-28 at AT&T Stadium, there is no way the attention-hungry, circus-creating, pot-stirring owner of the Dallas Cowboys is going to find a way to make a splash when it comes to his turn with the 19th overall pick.

So Jones says just go with it.

Jones still has it in him.

And with a cadre of 10 picks, the Cowboys have the selections to trade up to get the player they want.

But Jones believes there is a good chance the Cowboys could stand pat and still get their guy at 19.

“Well, the rumors of the wildcatter’s demise has certainly been exaggerated,” Jones said with a smile and a wink at the NFL owners meeting. “I’m not going to but I would like to, apart from a couple of player personnels, I’d like to show a few other decisions that I’ve made around here, and they’ve got more hair on them then you’d ever seen. So I will take a chance. Still.”

With so many teams moving up to get a quarterback and the possibility of several running backs and offensive linemen going high, Jones said the draft is setting up nicely for the Cowboys.

"We are positioned in the way the makeup is if a number of quarterbacks are taken, a number of running backs are taken, two or three or those offensive tackles hit,” Jones said. “Really as much as anything there could be a couple of guards taken ahead of us. And it’s positioned for a situation to drop. … But with what is happening with a little bit of ambiguity on the number of quarterbacks and what we just talked about, there could be an active draft there in the first round."

I always chuckle at this notion of a splash because we have 10 picks.

7 of them are the 4th round or later. You ain't making a splash with that. But with a solid draft you should be able to grab a few key players and some decent depth guys.

Jerry has controlled himself pretty well for a few years now. I'd say he's over it.

Of course there's the possibility that it's just been quietly building up inside and he's working on a reverse-Herschel mega-deal to get Tom Brady.

“Still I will take a chance. Still” and that right there is why we’re going on 20+ years of mediocrity. I can’t wait until he’s pushing daisies.

Good to know we are letting everyone know our plan.

Good to know we would be fine with an OT to be taken ahead of us.....

I think Jerry is always itching to make a splash, make a big trade. But I think one of the very few good things Stephen does is keep his father in check.

Jerry is stupid and will overpay for his stupidity. Stephen is stupid but he'll make sure he doesn't overpay for stupid.

You guys focus on making a splash more than Jerry does.

Jerry doesn’t have to make a splash to create headlines... Jerry did the total opposite the first week of FA and created all types of headlines.

“Why aren’t you making a splash, Jerry!”


Y’all kill me!!!
