""A win is very, very important in the NFL. And a win is important to me. And a win does a lot of positive things. I don't care when it happens," Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. "We owe it to that mirror, and we owe it certainly to our fans that we want to walk out there and be competitive. We will not try for draft position. We won't be looking at anything like that."
"The Cowboys have two first-round picks in next year's draft with their trade of Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers before the start of the season. Presently, they hold the 14th and 23rd picks in the first round. Disappointed with the 6-7-1 record, Jones has optimism for the future. The additions of defensive tackles Kenny Clark in the Parsons' trade and Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets has impacted the interior of the defensive line."
The Cowboys could see their playoff chances end depending on other teams, but the team will focus on winning remaining games rather than seeking better draft position. Regular players would be considered for rest only if the team were deliberately preparing for a postseason run, a decision made in the past. The franchise traded Micah Parsons to acquire two first-round picks (currently 14th and 23rd) and added defensive tackles Kenny Clark and Quinnen Williams to strengthen the interior. The offense features Dak Prescott with receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, and first-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer receives a positive evaluation amid a 6-7-1 record.
