I'll never speak in absolute terms because I wasn't there, but I just cant buy into it.

It's easy to say after the fact that a team wanted player X,Y and Z. Easy to go to the media and tell a story about a prospect your GM had a personal relationship with.

Talk is cheap and jerry does what jerry wants. He didnt get Manziel and the speak more to me than anything. Especially given how in love jerry was with romo, I just dont buy into those rumors.

At the end of the day though no one will really know for sure. Let's sit back watch the show tonight, and maybe jerry proves me wrong and cant be trusted without adult supervision.

I'll drink to that, cheers!!

Draft day is an official holiday in my household
I have a hard time feeling that with 4 hours of coverage on the first day and only getting through the first round. No matter how excited or disappointed fans are with their pick they still have little feel for how the draft is going to go for their team. And if your team either doesn't have a 1st round pick, or ends up trading out of the first round on draft day the first day of the draft is almost a non-event.

lol - this article is idiotic, and the OP shouldn't have fallen for it. Do we really think any restraint Jerry has had in the draft came from other people being in the same room and physically restraining him from making a pick that they thought was wrong, or do we think it came from the group talking it out? We obviously all know the answer to that, so the next question is do we really think he won't be in constant communication with others and talk things through just like they were in the same room? Technology actually does allow for that.

Obviously not a Dallas fan but I love JJ. I don’t think there’s another owner I’d rather sit down and a have beer with. Everyone gets jerked that he treats the team like it’s his own fantasy team but that’s his prerogative and most of us would do the same in his position. In reality his drafts have been pretty damn good recently. I think Stephen has been the voice of reason in some of these drafts.

So this make you guys nervous he’s going to go off the rails or will he stay on script and trust their board?
I have a cousin who like you is a huge e-girls fan. And like you, he is a HUGE fan of JJ. I wish I had a dollar for every time he laughingly says to me, “Jerry Jones is the best thing to happen to the Philadelphia Eagles because the way he runs the Cowboys always gives us a better chance to win”. I hate it every time I hear him say that, because it forces me to agree with an e-girls fan, yuck, LOL!

In all seriousness why would Stephen not be with Jerry?

If he switches from tea to Blue prior too....God help us.
Yeah..

I wonder what the actual cost to the team it runs to do the Draft?

Everything..salaries, travel, meals, housing, etc?

It has to be in the multi multi millions.
