Twas the night before the 2023 NFL Draft

Ho Ho Hold Up We Dem Boys

The NFL Draft kicks off tomorrow night. A once very small and unpublicized event that has now become every NFL owner's early Christmas wish list. In addition, currently, a signal to the average football fan that the '23 season is underway.

As a Fan Base Creator who follows the Dallas Cowboys, it's important to me to stay abreast of how our football team moves and operates. In addition, creating content around them 365 days a year. Today feels like Christmas Eve however.

That said, the Cowboys have 7 picks on their own Christmas wish list, one in each of the 7 rounds actually. Most recently the Cowboys have had one of their most productive free-agency periods since many fans can remember.

While studying how our front office operates I look forward to watching the events unfold organically as the Cowboys are set to pick 26th of the first round. I have no doubt that the "Draft Whisperer" Will McClay, VP of Player Personnel will come through like he always does.

Just days ago Jerry Jones publicly admitted that their problem is not drafting, but rather coaching. Ouch! Both Mike McCarthy and Stephen Jones were present as the Cowboys owner jokingly made those remarks with the media.

Why Aaron Rodgers and the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Make Cents

The trade between the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets is now official. The Cowboys Vs Jets on Thanksgiving scenario could materialize in the next 72 hours. When it comes to HBO Hard Knocks in late July we should know more.

Known as the Cowboy's killer his relocation to the AFC East now completes a very star-studded division at QB. Along with the draft the NFL schedule will be released. Nailing down which opponents on which dates and times to account for all prime time slots.

Stephen Jones is the executive vice president, CEO, and director of player personnel for the Dallas Cowboys.

With Rodgers landing in New York as a Jet I would bet the house it would make cents for HBO to feature the "Other" team in New York on Hard Knocks. Only time will tell so check back with me next week so we can circle back on this topic.

Since a kid growing up my family always gathered on Thanksgiving to watch the Dallas Cowboys battle the Washington Redskins. An NFL East rivalry that runs deep.

Im sure those betting sites have prop bets available now that the Jets will make the playoffs this season. Something they haven't done since 2010. Imagine the Cowboys Killer on primetime holiday programming with America's Team.

The Dallas Cowboys traded up with the Pittsburgh Steelers moving from the 21st to the 17th position, in exchange for a third-round draft choice in the 1990 NFL Draft.

With the first pick......

I'm truly excited that some fresh new NFL content will be rolling in tomorrow night. I feel like a kid again on Christmas Eve. Despite how the Cowboys go about their draft tomorrow night, as Jerry Jones so eloquently stated, "Drafting is not our problem. Coaching is."

Will the Cowboys hold at 26 or will they shake and bake and move up to go for a player they really want? Only time will tell. Many of the fans in my established network are traveling today out to KC for this annual major event.

Along with the NFL official schedule release many "Boots On Ground" fans will be charting their future endeavors behind their favorite teams like the Cowboys. Since departing The Combine last month the NFL Super Bowl train makes a stop in KC before heading back out west again.

Which player is on your NFL team's Christmas list? Bijan Robinson RB from the University of Texas is on mine. As well as many other 31 NFL owners' Christmas lists.

Dont lose your train ticket so you can hop back on with me next week when it departs KC from the draft. Make sure you have your Christmas wish list too. Let's compare our gifts next week here. Are you a veteran and have a favorite NFL team? Let's connect on LinkedIn today. Our ultimate train ride destination is "Sin City" next February! The most bet-on destination in the world.
