Cowboys wanted our draft; had eyes on Ealy, Turner

[jtnc]

Cowboys COO Stephen Jones told a conference call of season ticket holders that if they hadn’t traded their third-rounder to move up 13 spots to get Lawrence 34th overall, the plan was to take Missouri defensive end Kony Ealy at 47 and then come back with LSU guard Trai Turner in the third.

The Cowboys attempted to move back up into the third round to get Turner, but the Panthers took him 92nd overall after getting Ealy in the 60th spot.

“I would say that Ealy was probably our next pick,” Jones said, via the Dallas Morning News. “Sometimes what you read isn’t always true in terms of the [Timmy] Jernigans of the world and people like that. We really didn’t have him in that mix. . . .

For some reason that doesn't make me feel good.....

This means that Gettleman and Jones were on the same page...

I feel a bit uneasy about that

Agreed.  But messing up the Cowgirls' plans is always OK in my book.

Got the story wrong about them wanting to trade up w/ us. The title on twitter said "Cowboys were looking to snag a pair of Panthers picks" which had me believe they were draft picks, not prospects.

orly they got a decent LT to spare?

After another 8-8 season, Jerry Jones will revert back to his old ways.

Jerry Gettleman.
