Cowboys owner Jerry Jones had a little fun with the media in the team's post-first-round press conference late Thursday night at The Star in Frisco.
The Cowboys selected defensive tackle Mazi Smith out of Michigan with the No. 26 overall pick in the draft, but where was he ranked on their draft board?
During last year's press conference, Jones revealed the team's draft board to the world, so naturally, this year's board was on everyone's minds.
During the press conference, the media pressed Jones about where Smith fell on their board. Initially, Jones stated that they had Smith ranked as the 13th or 14th player on their board. When pressed for verification of the accuracy of his statement, Jones fired back, 'Who gives a s***? Really? We got him."
The Cowboys later confirmed that Smith was, in fact, the 14th-rated player on their board and was given a second-round grade by the team's personnel department. The Joneses also said they only had eleven players with first-round grades in this year's draft class.
