How many QBs go before 17

[Verdict]

I’m curious how many QBs you guys think will go before #17. How many players with first round grades do you think there will be in this draft.

I think the ideal scenario for us is several go before we pick and a QB is on the board at #17 that someone may want to move up a small amount to get. I would sure like to see us get two more picks in the top 3 rounds out of a short trade back and still end up getting a guy with a true first round grade.

ESPN had a mock draft and Herbert was at 17, believe it or not.

It's a sign from the football gods.

In all seriousness though, Tua may still be there since some teams are raising red flags due to his injury past. After we draft a QB in the first, we spend the rest of the picks on defense and a TE.

That is every teams dream. Picking at 17 makes it harder to trade back and still get someone graded as a 1st round talent.

Burrow, Tua, Herbert and Fromm. Don't know what scouts thoughts are on Fromm. I liked what I have seen from him but granted I have not seen a lot. I think the consensus is that Tua does not make it past the Dolphins. Have not watched Herbert much either but when I did I was very concerned!

It would be awesome to get a healthy Tua or Herbert. Draft him, tag Dak. If Dak wins the job than he gets a huge contract the next year and you trade the guy you just drafted for a first round pick. If Dak loses the job, then you have a cheap QB for a few years.

Based on what I have read from the Cowboys, they are intent on giving Dak a huge contract so this is all moot.

If Tua made it to 17 I would be completely pissed if we did not take him if his recovery was solid!

barring a tragedy there is no way Dallas will select a QB in the first 3 rounds...

I love this approach. Im a Dak supporter, but absolutely if you can get a cheaper upgraded QB you have to make the move.

I doubt we'd do this though. Hopefully MM has a lot of input into that decision. Based on what he's already said I think he's already sold on Dak, and would prefer on upgrading the roster at other positions.

Herbert ? are you kidding.i wouldnt take him in the 1st at all.Dak is way way better than Herbert ever will be.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I'm looking at Jake Fromm in the 2nd or maybe even 3rd round. He's the guy I would look at if I had a chance to take him later.

 

[jazzcat22]

Not for trading back unless a few spots, nothing like mid to late 20's, but this is something this team used to do, then pick a player with red flags or injury issues. Thinking they are being cute and clever over all the other teams.

I say used to do, but now with MM as HC, will this change?

Which one would you take between Tua and Herbert if both were there (which I don't believe at all)?

 

[Philmonroe]

Yeah not sure about that or else Dak would've went before the fourth rd in the first place. Time will tell but Dak in college was eh too me and I know being a LSU fan and watching miss st

He has the reputation of being a dump off QB as he lacks the arm strength to make the throws outside the numbers beyond 15 yards.

 

[DanTanna]

Don’t want Fromm. He doesn’t have the ‘it’ factor at all. Maybe in the 4th or 5th. Tua , Burrow or bust.

The dolphins might get to him before us. They are good at picking qb's that get injured every year. lol

The combine will tell a lot of this but that's not what I've seen out of Fromm the past three years. I mean, I heard the same things about Romo, early in his career and I have to say, none of that was true.

 

[fivetwos]

Dallas doesn't seem to downgrade players on their board due to injury history.

So, Tua is going to be in the top 3 on their big board, and if he is there at 17, it's simply good business to take him. Figure the rest out later.

Jerry doesnt like to hurt anyone's feelings though

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Unrealistic, IMO. Neither of those guys are going to be there when we pick so unless we are planning on mortgaging our draft for multiple years for a QB, that may never ever have an opportunity to start for us, I don't see the wisdom in that.

I don't think Fromm will go in the first b/c he doesn't have upside.

Burrow, Tua, Herbert, Love and Eason could all go in the first, but probably not before 17.
