Cowboys to enjoy freedom of “want” with 1st-round pick

With the NFL draft in a few days, Jerry Jones spoke with the media Monday about what the team might do with their first-round pick, No. 26, on Thursday.

As usual, Jerry Jones said in the first round the Cowboys could trade up, trade down, or stay at 26 and pick.

We all know Jerry loves to talk and get people’s heads spinning, but the odd thing is, I could see the Cowboys doing any of the three.

“I do catch myself thinking about trade, and we’ve done some of that. You’re trying to get a higher value, get more points,” Jones said on Monday.

I would stay away from trading out of the pick altogether, but if they have their eye on someone that they could grab early in the second round but would be a reach in the first, sure.

I don’t buy into the team moving up in the draft. Although it has happened a handful of times in recent memory.
