Granted, he had a sh*tton of high picks due to their shitty record and the Walsh and Walker trades, but they made out like bandits.

I've heard interviews with Jimmy Johnson where he's stated that during the first few years after Jerry bought the team that Jimmy had complete control over player acquisitions. It was Jerry's full time job at that time to keep the franchise afloat after years of mismanagement by the previous owners. Once the Super Bowls wins started happening Jerry wanted more of the spotlight and credit for building the team.
Jerry is horrible at talent evaluation. When he brought Parcells in after the Dave Campo 5-11 era and gave him alot of control over player decisions, Parcells turned over almost the whole roster because there was nothing there.
