Anyone who believes its anything but another way to get the Cowboys in the news by Jerry is just crazy. Jerry knew it would generate articles, comments, interest and most likely a variety of other things.
Does revealing it make a difference. Not in any way especially since the draft is done and over. All it does is allow sportswriters to comment either positive or negative toward the Cowboys but does Jerry care. Heck NO! It puts the Cowboys in the news. It keeps the blood pumping or boiling depending on your point of view.
It allows writers like Gooselin to further go after Jerry and Cowboys far not taking Floyd with his " you never go wrong by sticking to your draft board" of which I say really, so the Chargers stuck to their draft board and took Ryan Leaf instead of listening to the coaches back then, how did that work out. And the same is true for all 32 teams.
It allows fans to rant and rave about what should have been, yep I should have bought that Microsoft stock at $1 a share but hey I didn't.
I am a fan of the Cowboys, plain and simple, hurts when they lose, feels great when they win, sometimes think their draft is good, sometimes not but the fact is we don't know anything about the draftees until the season starts and we see how we do.
Jerry is always gonna try to keep the Cowboys in the news, just is just the facts whether BTB puts up the draft board or not, someone would have. Just makes for some interesting reading. How does it affect the Cowboys, it doesn't not one bit but the fans and writers is a different story.
