00:00 It's the NFL offseason and I'm Brea Maranthus with Mike Fisher and we match and we match we planned it obviously
00:07 We're here at the star in Frisco talking a little NFL free agency
00:12 But first we have to get to what Steven Jones said about how they are doing their job as many Cowboys fans are
00:19 sitting at home wondering
00:21 When is anything gonna happen? Yeah, you're doing what you're doing? Well what?
00:25 We don't want to take this out of context. This is Steven Jones the other day now
00:28 It's as it happens. He was at the Kid Rock rodeo thing
00:31 Which is part of his job
00:34 Because his job and the Cowboys job and the Jones's job is so far reaching beyond football
00:38 Which of course is part of the criticism of the Cowboys and we've talked about it hashtag 53 brands. We've talked about
00:45 Sometimes it seems like the Cowboys are a marketing company that plays football on the side
00:51 So what Steven is saying in context is because we do such a good job in the draft
00:57 We spend our money on keeping the Zack Martins and the Tank Lawrences and soon
01:02 CD lamb and Micah Parsons Trayvon Diggs drum bland eventually I assume Tyron Smith
01:12 Tyler Smith eventually I assume
01:15 So he says so we're doing our job, but we're doing a good job in the draft. That's where we put our money
01:20 So we're doing our job and they are 12 5 12 5 and 12 5
01:25 But the Cowboy fan has a reason to respond
01:28 And a justification responding in context by saying but if you're if that's your path if your only real path is
01:36 We're going to draft really well and then pay those guys. You're not using all the tools in the toolbox
01:43 You're not using and they will eventually
01:46 Get cheap free agents and they'll get undrafted rookie free agents and
01:53 Gilmore
01:55 affordable smart trades
01:56 Right. That's another Avenue, but the argument and I think it's a valid one if you if you never pay
02:03 sticker price for a great player
02:06 then the only way you ever get a great player is to draft him and
02:11 The only way to ever do that with all due respect to the possibility that you get somebody in the fifth round is you have?
02:17 To have premium picks to get premium players and there's only one first round pick a year
02:21 How do you possibly build the entirety of a roster just based on well look at us?
02:26 We draft well, and then breathe the other thing is what if you don't draft well because as we sit here today
02:32 Mozzie Smith does not
02:35 Exemplify right now drafting well and either does Luke Schoonmaker that that's a first and second round pick last year that didn't do enough
02:43 So if you draft well, then good for you, and then they get a big second contract
02:49 Congratulations, if you don't draft well you aren't able to stay at 12 and 5 and therefore
02:56 Maybe you need to go buy some players
02:58 And so when Steven Jones says the reason we don't go buy players is because we're doing our job so well over here
03:04 You are building roster wise a house of cards
03:07 Based on the idea that all your premium picks need to become superstars, and we already have evidence now in Mozzie and schoon
03:14 That's probably not as easy as it sounds
