Outside of the prospective draft picks, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell are headliners at 2018 NFL Draft, which begins Thursday and runs through Saturday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
But there is arguably no one more satisfied, pleased and appreciative of the process taking place in North Texas for the first time than former Cowboys chief scout Gil Brandt.
For 29 years, Brandt ran the Cowboys department under general manager Tex Schramm and coach Tom Landry, where he pioneered many of the scouting techniques used by NFL teams today.
He was the first one to use computers for scouting and talent evaluations, the first one to use psychological tests to evaluate the mental makeup.
