Stephen: Cowboys will keep an eye on QBs in the middle rounds

[reddyuta]

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.

good points but my point is more regarding Ehlinger.i think he is not accurate with his throws' and i have seen a lot of his games and never thought he will be a good NFL QB for 1 minute.

 

[quickccc]

I’m fine with them taking him to develop.

so long as it's in the late rounders, with maybe one of the 5th rounders or in the 6th round?.... could be a Colt McCoy type ..?

He is exactly the same guy as Dak at Mississippi St. I posted something in another thread comparing their college careers. You look at each of these guys and they are literally the same guy. Dak had all the same issues Ehlinger has at similar stages of their careers. If you like Dak, Ehlinger should be your guy.

no way i like sam im longhorn fan but i like
Shane Buechele more, hes much closer to colt type..

im not sure you could use Sam even the way Hill is in NO, hes kind of slow..but who knows..

 

[DFWJC]

Forget it...what I was going to say has been covered.

 

[Maxmadden]

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?

DiNucci has something. He absolutely has to change his mechanics.

He got thrown into a game in Philadelphia on a cold, windy, rainy night and he reverted to his old habits. This was on top of not having a training camp or preseason.

Give him an offseason, training camp, and a few preseason games and then we can all decide if he sucks or not.

Why do they keep wasting draft picks on these Dinucci's and Mike White's?

 

[RS12]

Davis Mills.

 

[HungryLion]

Yeah..


He’s mobile and a ultra competitor. I think it’s a good look but my problem with him is I don’t see his upside being higher than a backup and I prefer lottery tickets on these types.

I hear what you’re saying. I mean if they want to go for a more boom/bust type guy. I won’t complain about that either.

I don't care about that as much as the constant wasting of top round draft picks. Jaylon Smith, Taco, LVE.

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.

No they are quite literally talking about a backup in the 4th or 5th round. There is no buyer's remorse. It is very simply the fact that the backup QB position could use a cheap upgrade.

Lol@the fantastic editing job.

Maybe they're just getting some sense that QB picks are worth it. The Hoodie keep em coming. We supposedly have the QB Whisperer as HC. I want McCarthy to show us his magic.

 

[PhillyCowboysFan]

I normally don’t post in these types of threads as I do not profess to know more then the people that do this for a living. But with that said, why why why does it always seem that Jerry and/or Stephen are always suggesting what are intentions are in the draft.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Davis Mills.

Yes! Davis Mills please!

1) Davis Mills
2) Dustin Crum
3) Shane Buechele
4) Feleipe Franks
5) Sam Ehlinger
In that order.

As much as it pains me it is wise you never know. When the Pats had Bledsoe I am sure their fans were like why you wasting picks on guys like Brady and others. Never too early to find the next guy.

 

[John813]

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.

If they had legitimate shots they wouldn't be available in the middle rounds.

 

[reddyuta]

the odds are really low in the 6th and 7th RD though,these guys have some serious flaws and we need a backup right now.

Dak had all the same issues Ehlinger has at similar stages of their careers. If you like Dak, Ehlinger should be your guy.

Their write ups are very very similar. A guy who you take because he'll do all the hard work, has leadership skills, and above average athletic ability, but not nearly the polish of the other guys. Quite frankly, the guy you expect to be reliable in a pinch but never a starter. We were extremely lucky Dak turned into more.

If we need a backup that can legit start in a pinch we need a vet. Dak Prescott was an anomaly in terms if being NFL week 1 in 2016.

Only other guy I can think of who came close was Minshew(6th round) but he faltered this year but he is on the jags.

I mean if a Davis Mills or Trask fall in the draft I wouldn't be opposed but I wouldn't be putting my eggs I them starting at a competent level in 21.

We got lucky with Dak being an instant starter in the 4th.

I agree most 6th or 7th rounders won't pan out but I think at that point it's a pure developmental pick. Fine thr traits you like and hope for the best.
I think White was an alright pick but he just couldn't read a nfl defense to save his life.
Had the arm but not the processing speed.

Ben D I think was drafted purely cause he was a familiar name to MM

and dak detractors will read and then posts, post post and get this thread to 44 pages, arguing the Dak is not good, and the FO is looking for the QB of the future and that the contract is blah blah blah blah....

in 3.......2.......1....well it kind of already is at two pages.
