When it comes to the NFL Draft, all kinds of great sound bites and quotes will be heard around the league over the next few days.
One goofy quote came from none other than Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones on Tuesday while he spoke with the Dallas media.
“There’s a very reason why we’re 24th out of 32 teams drafting…Because we were the 24th-best in the NFL, according to the rules,” Jones stated.
Jerry Jones said the #Cowboys were the 24th best team in the NFL in 2023 and that’s why they’re picking at pick 24 in this year’s draft. pic.twitter.com/ci5AfHUSbF

Of course, Jones, 81, probably meant that Dallas was the 8th-best team in the league, which is why they are picking 24th.
Jerry Jones said the Cowboys are picking 24th because they were the 24th best team in the NFL in 2023.

Math is a little difficult sometimes, but that hasn’t stopped fans on social media from having some funny takes on Jones’s quote.

Everyone knows what Jones meant and is just having fun.
But, this is a franchise that is still searching for their first NFC Championship Game appearance in over 25 years.
They have struggled to win when it matters most.
But, that doesn’t mean Jerry Jones hasn’t done a tremendous job promoting the brand of the Dallas Cowboys and bringing a lot of exposure to the franchise.
Sometimes, that exposure comes in a unique way that is not always intended.
Now, coming off of a 12-win regular season but an awful, early playoff loss at home in the wildcard round to the Packers, Jones and Co. certainly have their work cut out for them entering 2024.
With the Washington Commanders entering a rebuild and the New York Giants being mediocre as of late, the Cowboys should certainly be in contention again heading into the regular season.
The question is whether or to this draft can help them finally climb the mountaintop.
