JERRY JONES TO AARON DONALD, I Was Hurt At '14 Draft ...WE WANTED YOU!!!

Zack Martin ain't going to love this ...

Jerry Jones told Aaron Donald, after a steak dinner in Miami on Thursday, he was devastated when the Rams drafted the DT just 3 picks before the Cowboys took Martin in 2014!!!

"First of all, you broke my heart," Jerry told the L.A. superstar at Prime 112 steakhouse in Miami ... "They took him before we could take him!"

Of course, the draft ended up alright for Dallas ... Martin has made SIX Pro Bowls since Jerry drafted him, after losing out on Donald -- but it's pretty clear JJ wanted AD badly!!

"I'm going to tell you something right here," Jerry said, as he took Donald's hand. "You raise your hand to this guy. Now, this is the definition of a War Daddy. This is, 'Be a War Daddy!' right here!"

Jerry's son, Stephen Jones, clearly felt the same way ... 'cause when he grabbed AD at the restaurant, he told his dad, Donald is "the best player in the NFL!"

Don't worry, Rams fans ... Aaron ain't going to bolt for Dallas anytime soon -- he just signed a $135 MILLION contract that's locked him in to Los Angeles for the next half decade!!!

By the way, we also asked Jerry if he'd put Jimmy Johnson in the team's Ring of Honor now that his ex-Cowboys head coach is going into the Hall of Fame ... and all Jerry would tell us is, "Aren't we proud of him in the Hall of Fame?"

Translation ... don't bet on it.
 
I wish that draft result hadn't been posted. Thrilled about Donald, but can't get past that #2 overall.

Can you imagine if that was Jackie Slater or Orlando Pace quality?

Yeah. Hands down I was drafting Mike Evans or Beckman #2, then Donald #13. That was my plan all along. Damn Rams!

At least that’s how I remember it. :D
Had that happened, Fisher may still be HC and we would still be living some of that 8-8 bull....

This is tampering NFL! Strip them of their picks!!
lol

I wanted Taylor Lewan for that first pick but can you imagine if we drafted Mack #2 then AD? We would of an amazing defense and Fisher would be the 9-8 king! :ROFLMAO::palm:

Would AD have made it far if Mack were taken #2?
 
Hey Zack, you have a home in LA. I wouldn't take that Jerrah BS!
 
If we had to do the 2014 draft over I would trade the #2 and #14 pick to move up to #1 and draft Aaron Donald
 
Just think, if the Rams had drafted Mike Evans, or a semi-competent left tackle at #2, Jeff Fisher could still be the Rams coach after managing a couple playoff appearances in L.A.!
 
Keep your bony crypt keeper claws off AD.
