No regrets about Amari Cooper but looming mega deals means Cowboys need to draft well

Cowboys miss not having No. 1 pick but have no regrets about trading for Amari Cooper By

The Dallas Cowboys are admittedly feeling some kind of way about not having a first-round pick in the upcoming 2019 NFL Draft.

Thanks to a 2018 mid-season trade with the Oakland Raiders for receiver Amari Cooper, the Cowboys will sit out the opening day of the draft, set for Thursday, April 25.

Their first pick will come in the second round, 58th overall on Friday when the second and third rounds are conducted.

But while it’s an empty feeling that the Cowboys once promised never to experience again, owner Jerry Jones and vice president Stephen Jones said they have no regrets about acquiring Cooper.
