The Cowboys held their annual pre-draft press conference on Tuesday, but there was no real insight shared about the team’s planned picks. Instead, the topic of the draft was barely touched on. No time, really, thanks to the extended grilling Jerry and Stephen Jones got over the team’s approach thus far to free agency and the offseason. We’ve got the highlights, including the one moment when Jerry may have accidentally revealed the secret agenda for the 2024 campaign.
Meanwhile, the mocks roll on. With less than 48 hours to go before the real first round, more and more analysts are predicting the Cowboys to take an offensive lineman with their first selection, but there’s still debate over which one it will be. The front office believes they already have the quarterback depth they would have been shopping for in the middle rounds, we’re exploring trade-down scenarios, and we buck conventional wisdom with a study that suggests there’s a moment during draft weekend when it’s actually better for a prospect to not have his card turned in. All that, plus the self-professed “worst mock draft ever” makes the pick that’s sure to set Cowboys fans’ blood boiling (as if Tuesday’s press conference hadn’t already taken care of that). Here’s all the News and Notes.
