Inside The Star
After taking about 10 days off to head out on vacation to bowl the USBC open Championship in Baton Rouge, Louisiana last week, I came back to see what I had missed.
I stayed on social media, but tried to ignore all the Dallas Cowboys talk, like the media saying Dallas should trade Micah Parsons, something that will never happen.
One thing I found when I came back that twisted my gear a little bit.
Cowboys CEO and Executive Vice President Stephen Jones appeared on 105.3 The Fan on Tuesday to discuss whether the team could be gearing up for a trade on draft day.
While Jones did say he could “see a situation” where the team makes a trade, it wouldn’t be up the draft board.
Yes, you read that correctly, if this team makes a draft on draft day, it would move down to get a guy of lesser, rather than actually trying to improve the team and maybe get inside the top 10.
#Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones on @OThankKevin and @inthemageors:
"I don't necessarily see us moving up, based on the way the board is coming together. But could see a situation where we move down."

The title of this post is kind of a joke, but at the same time, after hearing that, the question can be asked: Are we really sure this team has a plan of attack for this draft?
Tetairoa McMillan, Omarion Hampton, Matthew Golden, and Luther Burden III are all among the growing list of players who have often been projected to the Cowboys, and sure moving back in the first round and picking up additional capital would probably be an okay move, but this football team needs a guy that can start on day one, correct?
This team needs a starting running back, another wide receiver opposite CeeDee Lamb, another offensive lineman, a linebacker, a defensive tackle.

Despite making a dozen additions this offseason, the Cowboys did little to improve their starting lineup, and it’s difficult to envision them seriously upgrading the WR room if not with the 12th overall pick.
Jalen Tolbert, Jonathan Mingo, Ryan Flournoy, and KaVontae Turpin is what the Cowboys have to offer behind Lamb. I mean, come on, this is not a good WR room.
There’s no threat outside CeeDee, and with no running back either, all they have to do is double him every single play!
