Cowboys Draft Rumors: Dallas Won't Trade Picks For Veteran RB

The Dallas Cowboys need to find a running back to replace DeMarco Murray, and with Adrian Peterson's unhappiness in Minnesota, it appeared as though the Cowboys would make a trade to land the All-Pro rusher.

Minnesota would like a boatload of prime draft picks in return if they do trade Peterson, but Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on KRLD-FM that Dallas won't give up their draft picks:

"I don't see that happening," Jones said. "I think draft picks are so important for us. That's where your value is in this salary-cap era. I see us using all of our picks and hopefully do it in a good, wise way. Hopefully when the draft is all said and done, we'll have really improved our football team. I don't see us using any picks to trade for veteran ballplayers."
