Position preference could trump best player for Cowboys in draft

BOCA RATON, Fla. -- In the past two weeks the Dallas Cowboys have signed a linebacker, a defensive tackle, a cornerback, two running backs, a defensive end, and a tight end, and could have another deal with a cornerback pending.

The needs they entered free agency with have been filled, albeit not with the highest-profile names and resumes, but to owner and general manager Jerry Jones, the Cowboys can go with the best player available in the draft.

Well, sort of.

With the fourth overall pick, the Cowboys could have the best quarterback or two (Jared Goff, Carson Wentz), the best defensive back (Jalen Ramsey) or the best defensive end (Joey Bosa) available to choose from.
