I think the bigger reason is he simply became available and there is really no connection to the timing of his acquisition.
yeah jerry just wanted a round one qb, thats it.
he did comment on finding romo as a udfa, and dak was a 4th rounder, and somehow jerry connects that to a 1st round bust ! lol
He does think that he just got the future franchise qb for cowboys, and he got him cheap!! So Jerry feels good and had to also brag
on himself and his style of gm, and validating himself being gm.
You can do those things when your a billionaire and answer to no one.
