Jerry Jones: Offense Still in Play for Cowboys Draft

0:00On April 22nd, Jerry Jones just dropped the curve ball on Cowboy's draft plans. Heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, everyone's been buzzing about defensive picks with their two first round selections. But the owner says grabbing an offensive player early is still very much on the table, especially if the right one falls. He pointed back to 2020 when CD-LAMs surprisingly slid to the 17th pick. Dallas nashed him up despite needing defense, and that moves paid off big time. Now, with last season's awful defensive stats leading to a coaching shakeup, Jones insists you can't ignore offense under the perfect setup. Fans and media are split on whether he's serious. The team's PR sent out a note ahead of Wednesday's presser, adding some context, but it's up to us to read between the lines. Keep an eye on Thursday night's event, or Friday morning's follow-up, to see who's sitting with Jones and head coach Brian Schadenheimer. Rock drafts keep pairing Dallas with top defensive talents, like LSU cornerback, Mansour Delane, if they trade up to the ninth spot with Kansas City.

1:02Per ESPN's Peter Schreger, that Micah Parsons trade gave them extra ammo at 12th overall and beyond, fueling talk of a past rusher to fill the void. All eyes stay locked on the star, as options swirl for Jerry and crew. Whatever they cook up, is set to shake up Dallas's rebuild.
