Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wasn’t afraid of showing the team’s draft board during the weekend.
Many pundits didn’t believe that Jones had Tyler Smith over Kenyon Green and Zion Johnson. Jones had no problem proving those people wrong and revealed the board during a press conference.
“I’m dead serious,” Jones said.
To prove to reporters that the Cowboys had Tyler Smith ranked higher on their board than Kenyon Green and Zion Johnson, Jerry Jones showed a copy of the team’s draft board.

The Cowboys ended up drafting Smith with the No. 24 overall pick in the draft on Thursday. It was a move that people questioned since he was likely going to be available heading into round two and round three.
Dallas wanted more protection for quarterback Dak Prescott as the team hopes to keep him healthy for another season.
The NFL world had some clever reactions to Jones revealing the board.

He’s recognizing that no one else in the world has the kid that high, and thinks it is outrageous enough that he showed the draft board to prove its absurdity https://t.co/91BPodZaHx

We’ll see how the pick pans out over the next few years.
Never change, Jerry.
