Jerry Jones Jokes That 2017 Pick Taco Charlton Was His Son’s Idea

With the NFL draft just a few days away, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones decided to have some fun at the expense of his son, Stephen, and one of their former draft picks Taco Charlton. Stephen could do nothing but laugh it off.

“There’s a lot of talk in this business about who makes the call. Who actually makes he call,” Jerry said when discussing who actually makes the draft pick for the Cowboys. “Taco was Stephen’s call. [Micah] Parsons is my call.”

Charlton was a defensive end for Dallas taken with the No. 28 pick in the 2017 NFL draft, but he never turned into a consistent starting-caliber player.
