Who was the Dallas Cowboys' first owner?

Answer 1

Bob Lilly === That is not correct. Lilly was the Cowboys' first draft pick, but that was in 1961. The 1960 team was stocked via an expansion draft. They got 32 players from other NFL teams, but it wasn't in a round-by-round draft. The Cowboys did not participate in the college draft because they were awarded the franchise after the college draft was held.

So its hard to say who was the FIRST Cowboy.
