Dallas Cowboys Talk

For the 2009 NFL Draft, the Dallas Cowboys draft picks are not quite what you would think. Due to many recent trades, the Cowboys are loaded with extra picks in the middle rounds.

When they acquired Roy Williams from the Lions on October 14, 2008, the Cowboys gave up their 1st, 3rd and 6th round picks. So their first pick won’t happen until the middle of the 2nd round as the 51st pick overall.

In the next 4 rounds, however, the Cowboys have stockpiled 8 picks. They will have 1 pick in the 3rd round, 2 in the 4th, 3 in the 5th, and 2 in the 6th. And, to finish off the draft, the Cowboys will have 2 picks in the 7th round.

So if you tune in to the draft at 4pm ET Saturday when it starts, you won’t see Jerry Jones for quite awhile. In fact the Cowboys are only scheduled to have a single pick on Day 1 of the draft.

Once he gets started, you can look for Jerry to draft defense, defense and more defense. But don’t be surprised if he trades some of his later round picks to try and get an extra pick or two in the second round. Stay tuned!

The 2009 Dallas Cowboys schedule has been released and to Jerry Jones and company this just may be the most important schedule since he has owned the team. Since they are opening a new billion dollar stadium this year, it will be very important for the team to stay competitive and continue to fill up the seats.

The Cowboys first home game will take place the second week of the season. Dallas will host the New York Giants on Sept 20th in a nationally televised Sunday night game.

Other division home games include a Nov 22nd game with the Washington Redskins and a season finale, nationally televised, Sunday night game on Jan 3rd against the Philadelphia Eagles. Other home games include the Carolina Panthers on Monday night Sept 28th, the Atlanta Falcons on Oct 25th, the Seattle Seahawks on Nov 1st, a Thanksgiving meeting with the Oakland Raiders and a Dec 13th showdown with the San Diego Chargers.
