Stephen Jones has all but nixed the notion of six-time first-team All-Pro joining the Cowboys as the team’s draft strategy continues to evolve behind the scenes. While taking a linebacker may be in the cards, there’s one draft-day move that would be the biggest mistake Dallas could make, according to one outlet. Making the right picks is why head coach Mike McCarthy says he skipped the league meeting in Florida; it could be a job-saving decision before it’s all said and done. One mock draft has the Cowboys addressing the offensive line, and a former first-round stud shares the story of how he nearly became a Cowboy before the team went back on its word.
In non-draft news, Michael Gallup’s 2022 debut may come later than hoped, Micah Parsons can expect to keep bouncing around on defense, captains’ workouts are heating up, and a former Cowboys backup will come marching in to a new locker room this season. All that, plus new overtime rules and a look at the star power that America’s Team draws… in the stands. Here’s the News and Notes.
