Overview

  • Jerry Jones has reiterated the Cowboys' commitment to selecting the highest-graded prospect at No. 12, regardless of positional needs.
  • The team is actively working on two 'substantive' trades, with potential moves before, during, or after the draft still under consideration.
  • Despite their financial investment in Dak Prescott, Jones has left the door open to drafting a quarterback for depth and injury contingency.
  • Draft decisions will be made collaboratively by head coach Brian Schottenheimer and director of player personnel Will McClay, with Jones serving as a potential tiebreaker.
  • Dallas enters the draft with over $37 million in cap space and aims to balance immediate roster impact with long-term team-building strategies.
