Jerry Jones admits it was a mistake to select Ezekiel Elliott 4th overall in the 2016 NFL Draft: 'Too high for us'

Dallas Cowboys owner, Jerry Jones, had huge success on the field when he first bought the franchise in 1989, winning three Super Bowls in a four year period during the 1990's but failing to reach the game for the Vince Lombardi Trophy ever since.

Jones is the owner and general manager of "America's Team" and his influence in the team's decisions is massive, having huge success in the draft, but also taking some wrong front office decisions.
