Can’t wait to sit here one day with a 92 year old GM and reading the comments about how we haven’t been to a conference championship in 40 years!

When will the Cowboy fans put tons of pressure on the Jones family??

It sure worked out for the Lions recently. Are you familiar with their current team?
After sixty-or-so years, I'd hope so. Their best player is a fourth-round pick, selected at 112th overall. They acquired their QB in a trade. This iteration of the Lions is not a team built upon high draft picks.

That would be a miracle for Jerry.

So, you wish that the Cowboys would have won today and moved to the 16 spot instead of 11 or 12 in every single round? That's stupid.

Ask the Detroit Lions how that allegedly-advantageous position worked out for them for the better part of a century. The draft is a total crap-shoot. A lottery. Pure luck.
Exactly. The same teams have picked high for years. Browns, Jets, Bears. And they have all sucked for a long time.

I have been making THESE VERY SAME OBSERVATIONS about a current and longtime Cowboys QB for several years now.

But I must be the ONLY ONE who feels that way.
He definitely has the same flaws. Have you read any of the Dak threads? They are not brimming over with love and adoration.

I always want the Cowboys to win.

History has definitively demonstrated that draft order has very little correlation to franchise success.

How many top-tier picks has Kansas City had over the past several years? And they're sitting at 15-1, despite deliberately tanking today. It's not the draft, it's the organization. Teams like the Chiefs have it, the Cowboys don't...and it doesn't matter how many draft picks you gift them.

Look how long the Pats kept it up; The Boys as well; winning all the time and picking in the last five or less spots in the Draft. It is about organization top to bottom

Lol, so one play today going the other way costing all of that draft capital is worth it to you? That is an ignorant take. Do you know anything at all about this draft class and the value of moving up 4 or 5 spots in every single round?

What pressure can fans put on him? Even season tickets are more of an investment as fans can easily resell to opposing teams.

I am now in wait-and-see mode. Some folks always dismiss the relevance of the one guy approving every pick made by this franchise.

The NFL Draft's Day One is just a few months away. Waiting to see and read the reactions of fellow members, who have repeatedly hammered their stance on the team losing games to improve draft position. Will their expectations be met?

We will all find out at the same time. Stay tuned.
