Jerry Jones still capable of making splash, says draft is setting up for Cowboys

[Sydla]

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.....

LOL.

They just love to hear themselves talk foo-ball.

The only splash Jerry makes these days is when he drops another ice cube into his JWB

I was on the bus Sunday, and there was a bottle of Johnny Walker Black in there.

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."

The splash is indeed yet to come. Getcha popcorn ready!

 

[Gameover]

I want Jerry's next "splash" to come on the first Sunday in February. Otherwise, it's just noise.

They need to move it back to the Sunday in January

 

[cowboyec]

sounds like he thinks Isaiah Wynn will go "ahead of us".
Nelson is gone.
he mentioned guards,plural.
the other is Wynn.....or Daniels maybe?

 

[Risen Star]

You know Jerry WANTS to make a splash in Dallas at the draft. Whether he pulls it off or not remains to be seen. Too many variables to make a prediction.

The draft being in his own stadium should be splash enough.

 

[big dog cowboy]

I could shoot C. Hill for using the word splash.

 

[Gameover]

Love Derwin but i'm not giving up a 1 and a 2.


We can't skip Free Agency and then give away our entire draft as well for 1 player.

We didn’t skip Free Agency

Facts be damn

 

[SoupcanSam]

I thought jerry's splash would come on the party bus!

 

[Gameover]

Only way Jerry can make a splash is by drafting a QB.

That won’t happen until the third or fourth round

We didn't add any impact players in FA. That's his point. We brought in a few guys that can fill a couple of holes and be solid players but no one that you'd say is a true impact player.

I think his point is that teams often look to land impact, difference maker types with those first couple of picks they have in a draft. In fact, people who largely defend the FO for how they operate in FA (like yourself) have argued that we should use FA for depth guys and then use the draft and our high picks to land the true difference making talent.

Sorry..


We can't sign Hurns and a bunch of backups and then give away a 1 & a 2 for 1 player.

I think you are severely underrating Joe Thomas and Marcus Martin.

He needs to say that. I think Hurns will have a much better than expected impact. Like the best target Dak has had impact.

So Fleming will not start?

 

[cowboyec]

I can't tell you how upset I'd be if we took Ridley at 19 with some good defensive players still on the board.

my preference obviously at WR is Ridley....but the thing about DJ Moore...he hits all those traits they seem to look for.

At LB my preference is LvE...but I also like Evans.

LONG way to go tho.

just hope they dont take a TE.

DJ Moore is the better prospect

Sometimes you don’t know you’ve made a splash for a couple years...Fred-Martin-Dlaw
Sometimes you try to make a splash and it turns out to be just a ripple..mo-Galloway-Roy Williams
