Drafted by Cowboys 5th Round Pick - QB Mike White, Western Kentucky (171st pick)

[Jake]

Bit of a steal at the end of the 5th round. Having only Cooper Rush - who is not as good as some fans think - behind Dak didn't give me warm fuzzies.

White actually has starter potential.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

Awesome pick. I like Rush, but White has more talent. Create a competition. And put the loser on PS. Can never have too many talented QBs to develop.

 

[Verdammung]

Watched 5 of his games on tape.

Had some excellent deep ball games. Had some poor deep ball games.
Longest QB to Receiver pass I saw was 51 yards; I want to see 56 yards.
Really struggled in the 15 to 30 yard range.
Can make multiple reads.
Can force some passes.
Limited athelete.

I know Broaddus was cheerleading for him to sneak into the first three rounds. I'm not as high, but I see potential.

This pick took me for a loop, but I like it. Smart pick for the Cowboys.

Another young QB to sit behind Dak, this team does not need.

How soon everyone forgets Cooper Rush. White as 3rd QB does not help Cowboys win any games, let alone contend for a ring.

Not when there are still starting positions that are up for grabs.

Yeah, no. White >>>>>> Rush.

Dak dislikers are wishing upon a star for their dream to come true. lol

It's the same guys too lol. They don't understand this is a pick for backup.

 

[Bluefin]

Kellen Moore played for same coaching staff as Mike White had last season.

Dude, it's the bottom of the 5th round. And White is incredible value. And by the way, QBs get hurt sometimes. Great pick.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Does that mean that “Little Linehan” won’t sign as an UDFA?

3rd day is getting worse and worse for me. Cowboys looking for back ups again.

Its the end of the 5th round, backups with potential for more are what’s left. The next 2 picks after White were punters.

 

[BigD5]

Cowboys fans are ridiculous when it comes to QBs.

They hated Danny White. They hated Aikman. They hated Romo. Now they hate Dak.

If Mike White takes over they’ll hate him too

 

[Cowboyz88]

Yeah, no. White >>>>>> Rush.

QBs are big-time currency in this league.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

I was thinking they might steer toward another mobile spread QB to possibly incubate on the practice squad.

White is 100% the opposite of that LOL

 

[Cap12]

Yeah, no. White >>>>>> Rush.

This is silly. Rush was an UDFA. White was projected by a number of analysts as the #6 QB in the draft (including Dane Brugler).

 

[Cowboyz88]

Nut job fans act like Dak jacked up Romo’s back.

They’ll never get over it.

 

[StarBoyz83]

It doesnt matter if its Dak or white. Heee heee

Mike Whites scouting ....



Strengths

• Arm talent is the first thing you notice
• Former high school pitcher with 90 MPH fastball who can crank up that heat when he needs to
• Has good drive accuracy
• Able to push the ball into tight windows
• Has velocity and accuracy to attack the middle of the field
• Can alternate between heat and touch
• Throws catchable deep ball and has ability to drop it over a cornerback's head down the sideline
• Can be dangerous from the pocket when he's protected
• Completed 57 percent of his deep throws when protection was better in 2016
• Resets feet before throwing when he leaves the pocket
• Asked to make full-field reads at times

The above in BOLD is what Dak doesn't have.....

I think Brandon Weeden had similar strengths. How did that work out?

 

[PAPPYDOG]

It's the same guys too lol. They don't understand this is a pick for backup.

Today Rocyaice Today....who knows what tomorrow will bring to Big D....
