The Cowboys have not moved up in the first round since 2012 when they got to sixth overall to select LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne. Executive vice president Stephen Jones said Tuesday isn’t unlikely the Cowboys move up this year. I don’t necessarily see us moving up, based on the way

Maybe Bill Belichick should have taken a job with a private university.
