Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the team's research showed there was almost no chance Alabama cornerback Trevon Diggs would be available for the team with the 51st overall pick.
"We have well-done, in-depth studies and charts that we all were reviewing [Friday] morning before the draft," Jones told reporters. "All of our studies showed that he was in the one percentile. Diggs was in the 1 percent chance of falling to us there. One."
The Cowboys ended up with the 2019 First Team All-SEC defender, but not before exploring various trade-up opportunities to take him earlier that ultimately weren't necessary.
