Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones, son of owner Jerry Jones, has revealed that the team’s upcoming NFL Draft plans could be “turbulent” as the franchise balances roster needs with major coaching decisions. Speaking on the Cowboys’ direction, Jones made it clear that the front office is prepared for flexibility on draft night, including potential trades, as they work to reshape the defense and overall identity of the team.
Jones also set firm expectations for the next Cowboys defensive coordinator, stressing the need for a coach who can maximize existing talent, bring discipline, and adapt schemes to today’s NFL offenses. With those demands in place, the Cowboys’ draft strategy will closely align with whoever takes over the defense, making the process unpredictable but purposeful as Dallas looks to return to championship contention.
