Troy Aikman's comments on the draft last night

No chance at Lawrence so what’s the point? I’m not opposed to taking one in the 2nd however.

Now Troy has said he likes what he has seen in Dak. He has said this several times.

However, last night he said, if you are in position to take one of the QB's at the top of the draft, you must do so. And I can't disagree.

Did anyone else hear this?
What do you all think about it?

I know many will agree, as some will disagree with this statement.

I stated several times, you have to consider it, no way you can not discard this theory.
Yo have a QB that is good to very good, but just seems to be missing something at times. I felt the same about Tony Romo.

So Dak on the verge of being tagged at $37 million or set to make $35 to $40 million a year. Now I won't get into the salary cap ramifications on that, but understand the thinking from many fans about it.
So a franchise QB is there, you get at a 5 year far less impact on the cap.

Can this QB do right away what Dak will do when he returns healthy from his injury. But yet still the same issues, no defense. Though I think a new DC will be better than a 3rd pick overall on defense.

What are your thoughts as of this morning.
Right now, as usual, I will wait until the end of the season, see where we pick. I do like Dak, but I am leaning very much too selecting a QB.

I’d do it too. I have nothing but respect for Dak but this team needs so much help in so many areas I can’t be convinced to give Dak the money he demands. We played just as poorly when he played early on this year.

We have an absolute STUD at QB already. If the last 7 games haven't proven that to this fanbase...nothing will.

Here is a novel concept...lets go heavy on the Defense. That is what we need.

That's not really true. When Prescott was playing the offensive was ranked at the top. Now, it's embarrassing.

Jimmy Johnson said the same thing about selecting a top notch QB if there during the draft during the pre game show...
