Jerry Jones, ever the optimist
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on 105.3 The Fan on Friday before Dallas plays against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in Rio:
“That’s a bad matchup. We got our work cut out for us. It’s a rough one. … We’ll be ready for them, but they’re a handful.”

Jump or Stand Still
So soon it will be time for the 2026 draft and the Cowboys are in a good spot for some choice draft picks, you know, like the Dak Prescott or George Pickens ones. And fortunately for those two fellas, they've turned out to be diamond-in-the-rough playmakers. And the best part of those choices proved statistically outstanding. What do I mean?
According to the Jimmy Johnson Draft Trade Value Chart (DTVC) where a lower score is actually better, Dak and Pickens scored whoppingly low numbers (38.5 and 380 points respectively) totaling a measly 418.5 points out of a staggering 18,535 total points for the Cowboy's 2025-2026 season. The difference is remarkable. At nearly double the league average of around 10,000 points of draft capital, it blows the doors off of most other top NFL teams. For example, a Day 1, 1st Round pick (Jadeveon Clowney) was worth 3000 points. That is called an "Elite Pedigree" draft pick, yielding only moderate on-field production. Yet Dak was a 4th Round 135th pick and Pickens was a 2nd Round 52nd pick but with extremely high on-field production comparatively.
