    This is not news. He has said it at least 20 times in the past 6 months.

    What earthly good would it do for him to lie? Nobody listens anyway so nobody will change their strategy based on what he says. It makes no sense for him to say anything but the truth. Otherwise it tarnishes him if only to a small degree. You don't see any other GMs saying what they will or will not do unless it is the truth. I'm sure he is no different. The Cowboys will not move up to the top 5. Now he said nothing about #6...haha.

    how often do you think he was asked that question? When i would get asked that the 1000th time i would just say what he said.

    i say he is using a poker face in his voice if that makes sense, hes calming down all the hype and then come draft day the cowboy fans are roaring when they get their trouble making running back to pair up with their trouble making reciever

    "I have no intent at all of moving into the top five," Jones said, while also stressing this was not a comment on McFadden's talent, but a fear factor of paying any rookie today's top-five going rate.

    Now we're picking #6. Hmmmmmm...

    No just no if Gholston and Mcfadden are available, we just wait to see who drops to us. Why give up our best de on an already bad dline. In the second No way Harvey is there and I doubt Groves will be Manningham prob will but id rather have Hardy

    I think that is pretty close to what happens. We could also move to the bottom of the first round by packaging our 2nd with our lower 4th if there was somebody else we wanted badly enough.

    my dream draft would be to pick up mcfadden and groves.
    Why McFadden?
    1)everyone says we dont need a running back but the saints didnt need a rb either but reggie bush lead them to the confrence champions
    2) I wanna see the strong Jones and versitale DMC run through our new and improved 0-Line

    and quientin groves can start off as OLB and when he is bigger and ellis is gone he can put his hands on the ground and move to DE
    I believe a person with 16 sacks did that this year

    I'd do a move up with a fourth and second for Dre Moore. No way he is falling past the dolphins.

    The only way I even consider that rumored trade to the Raiders with Coleman is if we are guaranteed to nab Dre Moore with our second pick to replace him or if they really think D-Rob can plug in there and be just as effective.

    I also hope we move up into the late 1st, if the right people fall. The value in the 20ties is very good, imo. Phillips, Groves, Kelly, Stewart, Campbell, Manningham, Albert, Balmer are all names, that could fall to a spot, where we could move up to. I like Moore, but i wouldn?t move up for him, i have all of the names above ranked well ahead of him. If we stay put in the second, Moore would be a good pick.

    Dre Moore is a 34DE

    Quentin Groves is a 34OLB

    Curtis Lofton is a 34ILB
