Indeed, the Cowboys have too many legitimate needs within their roster to take a quarterback in the first two rounds. But if we're wondering where the line might be for drafting a quarterback when the team already has a great one, it might be worth looking at the origin of the quarterback they currently have, and the successful strategy they took to acquire him. According to Jones, they'll be implementing that same strategy.

"Certainly we'll keep our eye on [drafting a quarterback] just as we did with Dak when we had Tony Romo, a guy who could make a lot of sense for us there in the middle rounds," Jones said.

Sounds like they already have buyer's remorse on Prescott.

Why do they keep wasting draft picks on these Dinucci's and Mike White's?
Where would you take a backup developmental QB?

The only alternative to this strategy is to sign a journeyman veteran as your backup

I’m ok with that.

I was ok with Dalton and id be ok with Dalton 2.0 whoever that might be.

I also don’t have an issue with us actually spending a 4th or 5th on a developmental QB of higher quality than DiNucci.

How anyone could have a problem with taking a 7th round flyer on a QB like we did with DiNucci though? No risk for a low value pick.

How exactly is this supposed to be compared to the point in time when they were looking for Romos successor anyway....as opposed to just signing Dak to a record deal of four years?

Is this guy paying attention at all?

At any rate, glad to know they will have their eye on players during the draft.

Outstanding.

I have no issue with taking a developmental QB.....but if all you are doing is taking a guy just to say you took one? I'd rather draft someone that can contribute.

Yeah these QBs have very low shot of ever amounting to anything.we should be looking at QBs with a legitimate shot in the middle RDs.
Exactly. And that's my stance. I have no issue with the approach just who they are doing it with. These guys don't even look like professional football players on tape.

I’m fine with them taking him to develop.

I would seriously hope so DP. They are literally the same guy, right down to the argument as to why they deserve to play in the NFL. Both of those guys biggest asset is that they both have qualities that you can't measure. Leadership is each players best asset.

I would actually be shocked if you would have said that you weren't fine with it, to be honest.

Same thing the Patriot fans said when some guy named Tom Brady got drafted.
I don't recall any Patriots fans saying that. There's also Tom Brady....and there's Mike White and Dinucci. Using this argument why don't we just look at undrafted free agent rookies since that's where we got Romo?

meh.not a fan at all.i would rather have Trask.

Well, if you like Dak, then you gotta like Ehlinger. If you hate Trask, then I understand why you would rather draft him because if you take Trask to QB this Offense, he's guaranteed to fail. He doesn't fit what we do. Trask needs a traditional pocket Vertical Offense. He is a hard fail with RPO Offense IMO.
