FRISCO (105.3 The Fan) - Astute Cowboys watchers know right around NFL Draft time, team owner Jerry Jones is unusually generous with nuggets of truth.

So it was Monday at the pre-draft presser at The Star in Frisco.

"The numbers, if you add both those positions up, look good," said Jones when asked about this draft and if needs match up in terms of pass-rushers and cornerbacks. "There are a lot of players at those positions that give us options. And we got some positions within our own roster that gives us some flexibility as well."

That is honesty in its clearest form ... and yet Truthful Jerry did not stop there when it came to revealing of the clubs thoughts on how to use this week's premier picks.

"Oh," Jerry added helpfully, "you can throw safety in there, too."

So are these players going to make an immediate impact? Jones believes they can.

"There are players there (when they pick at 28). Players that can help us immediately," Jones added.
