With the NFL Draft still months away, most owners, general managers and coaches will be rather vague in terms of answering whatplayer they might select.
Jerry Jones was no different Thursday night when asked to discuss the team's draft needs.
The Cowboys have the 21st overall pick following last year's 9-7 record.
Jones acknowledged the Cowboys have not drafted an offensive player in the first round since taking tight end David LaFleur in 1997,but said he expects the Cowboys to fall behind the popular draft cliché of "taking the best player off the board" once again this year.
"As all teams, we've got a long ways to go," Jones said. "This will be the classic 'the best one up there' at any position in the draft."
