‘Boys Trade For Spencer, Cleveland’s No. 1 in ‘08
The Dallas Cowboys didn't need Bill Parcells at this draft. Jerry Jones was back in his element.With their No. 22 pick in the first round becoming a hot commodity, Jones reverted to the riverboat-gambler mode that has long served him well, from his years in the oil business to his early days running the Cowboys. Two trades later, Dallas wound up with pass-rushing linebacker Anthony Spencer of Purdue and next year's No. 1 pick from Cleveland.
Spencer was one of the players the Cowboys were eyeing at No. 22, so they didn't lose anything there. And considering how bad the Browns have been in recent years, their top pick in 2008 could be near the top of the draft.
