Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was recently named 10th-best general manager in the NFL in a ranking that took draft record, coach hiring, free-agency spending, cap management, trades and even handling of the press into consideration.
Jones likely scored highest in the latter compared to his fellow colleagues.
But the Cowboys do consistently have one of the league’s best rosters, which can be attributed to the tremendous success they have had in the draft, certainly over the last decade or so, capped by a recent three-year haul of studs led by receiver CeeDee Lamb in 2020, linebacker Micah Parsons in 2021 and left tackle Tyler Smith in 2022.
