2nd round or later qbs

[stilltheguru]

I know everybody wants a first round guy but 2nd round or later is deeper this year than others. Trask might be there in round 2 so might Jamie Newman. Kellen Mond and Brock Purdy are possibles. Wed be foolish to rely on more years of Cooper Rush nonsense

For a backup you mean?

If you're drafting a QB to replace Dak, you have to do it early. Otherwise, there's no point in spending a 2nd on a backup quarterback when you can get a contributor other places. Kellen Mond and Brock Purdy (I don't think they're even second-round talents) wouldn't have been an upgrade to anything we had this year.

I am by no means any kind of expert, but I've watched TAMU for quite some time.

The thing that worries me about Mond is it took him forever to become a "decent" QB. I would think anything higher than a 6/7 would be reaching significantly.

Then again, he's taken some pretty decent strides this year as well I think. I'll let those of y'all far more superior in the art of analyzing take it further than my casual fan point of view.

Bad idea

You either pick a starter at the top if you’re moving on from Dak or resign Dak and use the current backups you already have and use the draft capital for other spots. Top of rd 2 should produce a starter on defense

 

[KingintheNorth]

For decades in my draft research, I'd always want to identify the QB with great size, tools, etc. that maybe could be drafted later that could develop for two years and become a really good QB down the road.

The it dawned on me about 10 years ago. Dallas does not have the type of coaches who can develop those type of quarterbacks.

 

[CATCH17]

Nope..

I'm done with the middle round trash.

Draft an elite prospect.

A backuup who can one day start potentially.

 

[stilltheguru]

Dak isnt going anywhere for atleast 2 years.

 

[Xavier187]

Don't need a QB u have two that need time .
Gilbert is fine

That's a first-round pick. There's exactly one quality starter who has been drafted in the second round since 2010: Derek Carr. Jimmy G, Andy Dalton and Kaep weren't quality starters and everything else in the second round has been...bad.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Don't be surprised they take flyers on a later rounder. Remember MM said he wanna always have a development guy in the room.

 

[cowboyec]

sam ehlinger,texas
deriq king,miami
shane buechele,smu

those are 3 i'd like as back-up/developmental types you might get mid-late rds.

True and the only upgrade to Dak would be Lawrence and we are not going to get a chance to do that, IMO.

Trask has more chance of being the second QB off the board than slipping to the second round. I'm a big Justin Fields fan, but what Trask has done this season is remarkable. And it's not like he came out of nowhere. He was a very highly ranked player as a recruit. I would not be at all shocked if he jumps Fields by draft day

I'm gonna take a lot of heat for this, but I stand by it. He's far more Pro ready as a passer than Fields.

He can pass but hes kind of a statue

I'd rather scheme to protect a less mobile QB than spend years teaching a QB to read a defense.

Also, though he's not a threat to run, his ability to move and climb the pocket is very good. He doesn't take a lot of bad sacks anymore.

He doesn't have anywhere close to the arm strength of Fields.

There's a chance he goes in the first round (though I don't see it), but there's no way he's passing all of Fields, Wilson and Lance. You could make a case that he's QB 6 better than QB 2.

He may not have the strength of Fields, but he has better anticipation and a better ability to read the field. His arm is also plenty strong. He may wind up being QB6, because mistakes happen on draft day, but there is no way he's the sixth best QB in this draft today, or ten years from now.

I appreciate your opinion though and look forward to seeing how it shakes out. I knew it wouldn't be a popular opinion.
