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.

Lool.

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.

I’d rather take a QB whose best asset is how well he plays QB, but that’s just me I guess

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.

Well you’re already here and took the bait so it worked

I can't wait to waste a pick on someone like Ian Book.

In the middle rounds, they can take whoever they want, because no one is stupid enough to draft a quarterback there.

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.

If he has something fair enough. I don't see it but if true....why would they STILL use a draft pick on QB?

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

I'm sick of the wasting of picks in general. I can't say they wasted picks on Jaylon and LVE. Maybe they didn't work out like we had hoped but there's levels to drafting Jaylon and LVE....and then there's drafting TACO.

Same thing the Patriot fans said when some guy named Tom Brady got drafted.

Pretty sure they weren’t - didn’t the Pats suck mightily when they took Brady??

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.

I guess I'd have a issue with the Cowboys thinking they are the Patriots to begin with........

Thought Gilbert looked okay

After Prescott’s injury are they still planning on running him?

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

Some of these UDFA and late day 3 picks at QB are with the practice squad in mind. Almost all of the players available at that point just fight for a practice squad spot for a couple years anyway. You're mainly picking traits you like and seeing how they develop in a professional setting, some kids are late bloomers, most just fizzle out.

Isn’t it wonderful having ownership who show the league their hand before the deck has dealt all of their cards.

They just can’t help themselves from teasing the media and the fans instead of holding their cards closer to their best. It’s so embarrassing.

I doubt the Cowboys FO has buyers remorse over Prescott. I think what they do have is a desire to get the best backup they possibly can to back up Dak in the event his repaired ankle somehow is re-injured.

If a team is wise, they should do all they can to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Naturally, much depends upon whether a promising QB is available or not to make such an acquisition successful.

If a promising QB is available to maximize any opportunity of success if an accident occurs, they should take full advantage of any real possibility to respond in their best possible interest.

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.

Though Dak did play in the SEC and Ehlinger played in the BIG 12. There is a difference in competition there.

From what's been said lately, they've cautioned him to avoid taking needless risks. Their hope is that he'll listen and act accordingly.

Maybe not, but we all know the C'boys are....I'm kidding. Of course, we've all seen that Ehlinger has been mentioned many times but
let's face it, there are others who might easily enter the picture as an unexpected surprise! Anything's possible, folks!

Or maybe it’s because McCarthy usually watches for QBs.

Sounds like they already have buyer's remorse on Prescott.....no they think that was a major success, and they think they can do it again !!
Only the jones boys can get good qb's in the middle rounds lol.
I wonder what they consider the middle rounds ?

But I am sure they think they did great drafting dak.
Thing is I doubt the jones boys wanted dak or even knew much about him. It wasnt like they knew and liked him, that was just ok
I will let you guys draft this guy if you like him.

Jones boys like the top 3 rounds for their picks, those are the "fun" picks for them.

But hey it is possible to get a decent qb in lower rounds, if they can properly evaluate them, which I sort of doubt.

Using this argument why don't we just look at undrafted free agent rookies since that's where we got Romo?

yeah that is a good one lol, it is possible, but you would have to be really good at evaluation to do that.
and you have to let them develop.
