Jerry and Stephen Jones have put a lot of faith but also a lot of pressure on Will McClay and this scouting department to gather information on the players both in the league and in the draft and match it with what the coaching staff is looking for.
In this year’s NFL Draft, the Cowboys had needs in terms of personnel but also had a desire to change to culture and attitude of this team.
Each year before the draft, the Cowboys give their annual press conference ahead of the draft, and each year Jerry Jones drops a few nuggets to throw chum in the water as well as a few one-liners to lighten the mood.
So much so, that Jerry decided to show off their draft board after the selection of first-round pick Tyler Smith, and people seemed to have been able to decipher it from screenshots.
We’ve all come to believe that Stephen has basically taken over.
