Some #Cowboys notes from @DavidMooreDMN last podcast with the Dallas Morning News (some notes may or may not be new info):
• Tyler Booker was “7th or 8th” on the team’s big board, but Tetairoa McMillan was higher and would have been the pick if available.
• Moore asked around when the last time the team felt this good about a first-round pick from their level of play to have a high character was. The first name was Michael Irvin, and the second was Jason Witten.
• There was “little discussion” of Jalon Walker at 12, but Booker was still rated higher.
• The Houston Texans were willing to give up a “future pick” to move to 12, but Dallas wanted more capital from this draft instead.
• Moore thinks going in, Javonte Williams will be the Cowboys primary back.
• Compared to past players, Dallas “sees some of Marion Barber” in Phil Mafah’s game.
