A lot of Cowboy fans felt we should have taken Ramsey instead of Zeke. I'll bet a few of them change their minds after reading this. Nobody likes a drama queen.

I'll take a guy running his mouth over a guy dealing with dumb drama like Zeke's.

Somebody needs to remind Jalen Ramsey he plays for the Jaguars.

Why whine about the Cowboys not drafting him three years after the fact? Petty, whiny, and unprofessional.

You mean the same Jags that played in the AFC championship last year?

Quick...when's the last time Cowboys played in a conference championship, let alone a Super Bowl?

Knowing what we know now, 31 out of 32 front offices would take Ramsey over Zeke. Before the draft, there was some question whether he'd have to play safety.

The boy has a mouth and kind of annoying but he can back it up. He’s played in more playoff games than most of the guys on our team.

And he’s right in a sense. Playing for the Jones is a circus. Everyone knows it.

Jalen is awesome. And what he said is really a compliment honestly. He really wanted to play for Dallas, like Moss. Hope the rivalry isn't as one-sided this time lol

I'll do the Jones for Jalen trade. You think Kahn will go for it?

Though Jalen Ramsey is a shutdown corner, he can't seem to shutdown his mouth.

By passing on Ramsey, Dallas now has both Zeke and Chidobe Awuzie. To me, Zeke-Awuzie>Ramsey.

Could Dallas not have drafted Ramsey and Awuzie?

It feels like a of FAs like to use the possibility of going to dallas Dallas to try to leverage other teams into paying higher prices. Nobody should be fooled though, Jerry doesn't sign BIG free agents.

Somebody pointed out that the last "big" free agent signings by Dallas were Terrell Owens, Brandon Carr, and Greg Hardy.

Maybe...Owens was OK, but the other two didn't really do much to improve Dallas.

Roy Williams was pretty big. In a lot of ways actually. Big trade price, big contract, big disappointment.

Jalen Ramsey offered his opinion on Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski during an ESPN The Magazine interview, but Gronk wasn’t the only target of the Jaguars cornerback.

Ramsey also expressed his dissatisfaction with the Cowboys passing on him during the 2016 draft.

Dallas had the fourth overall choice and most mock drafts had the Cowboys taking either Ramsey or Ohio State running back Ezekiel Elliott. The Cowboys chose Elliott, leaving Jacksonville to draft Ramsey.

Ramsey expected the Cowboys to take him and believes the team’s coaches wanted him, but owner Jerry Jones overruled them.

“I will never play for them,” Ramsey told the magazine, “unless the Joneses leave.”

First, the Jones family isn’t going anywhere. They own the most valuable sports franchise in the world, according to Forbes magazine, and Jerry Jones already has earned enshrinement in Canton. So that means Ramsey apparently won’t ever entertain playing in Dallas, not that he would ever get that opportunity anyway with the Jaguars holding his rights for the foreseeable future.

Second, it’s hard to argue with the Cowboys’ selection of Elliott. He has as many All-Pro and Pro Bowl nods — one each — as Ramsey has. Elliott led the league in rushing as a rookie in 2016 with a six-game suspension in 2017 keeping him from a chance at a repeat.

But it’s worth nothing that not so long ago it seemed every player in the NFL wanted a chance to play for the Cowboys. Recently, several players have expressed anti-Cowboys or anti-Jerry Jones feelings.
It's easy to argue with the Cowboys selection of Zeke over Ramsey lol. We made the wrong pick.
