In the last few years, the Cowboys were able add Micah Parsons, CeeDee Lamb and Trevon Diggs in part thanks to the draft’s unpredictable nature.
In the last few years, the Cowboys benefited from this unpredictability to select talented players but only after prospects they wanted were surprisingly taken before it was Dallas’ turn to draft.“I’d say have your board in order,” Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said this week. “I mean, that’s how you get prepared.
So the Eagles traded spots with Dallas to select Smith. Eventually, the Giants moved down, trading with the Bears who selected quarterback Justin Fields. “We were just really fortunate,” Stephen Jones said at the time of Lamb’s selection. “I think that if you are patient, and you stay true to it, and you believe in it and you have good players that are sitting there, and you’re willing to wait on it to come to you, then good things will happen.”
“Certainly to have Diggs there, candidly, was a surprise to us,” Stephen Jones said when the cornerback was selected.
