If a QB is sitting there for us in Round 1...

[ThreeandOut]

Bunting came out with his top 5 QB's yesterday in this order...

1) Luck
2) Tannehill
3) Barkley
4) RG3
5) Jones

Unless they're willing to move on from Romo after 2012, I don't see Dallas taking a QB in round 1. Now if one of the QB's above were to fall to them in round 2, then they would probably jump at that opportunity.

IMO, Tannehill would be the most likely to fall to them in round 2. Teams needing a QB to step and play immediately might be scared to take him due to his inexperience. But Dallas would be a good situation for him because they don't need an immediate starter. It would be similar to Tyron Smith where teams didn't look at him earlier because he hadn't played LT. But that wasn't an issue with Dallas since they didn't have an immediate need at LT.

For whatever reason I've seen a few folks mentioning Cam Newton's name when talking about RG3, but I don't see why. Cam had a very good arm, a terrific frame with athleticism and a good delivery to work with going into the pros. He also performed at a high level against better competition week-in, week-out in the SEC throughout his career.

I could go through a list longer than Schindler's of great college QBs with gaudy numbers who's game didn't translate to the NFL.

So you see Sam Bradford.

Lol, so you believe Sam Bradford = RG3?

If that's not what you're saying, I don't understand your reference.

I agree with you on RG3..however, teams are reaching for QBs..look at all the bums who went early in this last draft..somebody will reach on Rg3-in the 1st.

Thanks.

Where Barkley goes in the draft obviously is going to be dictated on how the season shapes up. Players can be drafted higher due to demand on a position. So for me, saying Matt Barkley is gauranteed 1st rounder doesn't say much to me.

I'm looking at him as a QB prospect.

I'm not overly enamored with him, although he is having a great start to this season. He's not in Andrew Luck's echelon (nobody this year is). I think Barkley compares very similiar to Jimmy Clausen (2nd rounder '10), Christian Ponder (1st round '11), and Andy Dalton (3rd round '11) in terms of the type of prospect he is.

THis is where I disagree. I think as a prospect Barkley is a 1st rounder. Kid has it all. He just isn't a "sexy" prospect for whatever reason.

I think you can make a pretty good argument that RG3>Bradford.

If a QB that we had rated very highly (higher than what we were picking) fell to us, I think we should consider it. The value must be there though.
Some of the names on that list will not go in the 1st...but I see your point, nevertheless.

My choice would be to absolutely not burn a 1st rounder on a QB--not yet anyway. But value is the key...kind of like GB nabbing Rogers late in Rd1.

I'd draft Landry Jones or Griffin in the first. Would not draft Barkley or Tanneyhill in the first.
