If I ask you guys what the most important position on the team is, I would get almost universal concensus that that position is QB. Two years ago it looked like we had caught lightening in a bottle with Dak, but even then he had some rough patches. People forget those because of all the wins.
This past year, Dak looked good at times and at other times quite frankly played very bad. I will start off by saying the team won't just give up on Dak. I'm almost certain of that. What I'm not so sure of is how confident they are in their belief that Dak IS the guy.
There are about six (6) QBS that I am seeing mocked ahead of us. While that IS possible, San Fran just signed theirs. The Browns won't take two QBs in front of us. Cousins will be signed as a starter by someone in front of us. If all six of those guys are franchise quality QBs one of them may we'll slide to us.
I know some will say that would never happen.! The trust is no one can be sure of that. A player at #19 on his rookie contract will cost anout what a quality backup would cost you. So cost will not be an impediment if the right QB is there.
The team may have enough confidence in Dak that they won't be interested. But if the right player falls to them they would be foolish to write off that player IF they aren't 100 percent sold on Dak.
Let's be real about this.... taking a QB at #19 would be a real opportunity cost of another starting quality player. But would you take Baker Mayfield over Taco? Hell yeah, all day every day.
Mayfield is going to turn some people off with his attitude. Some will not like his size. Drew Brees lasted until the second round because of his size and they are similarly built players. Also some will say his stats are artificially inflated playing against big 12 defenses running a spread offense. Others will dodge him because of the heisman curse factor.
Whoever the QB that falls happens to be, if the grade is there and he is clearly the best player on the board, and the team also grades him out to be a franchise QB would the Cowboys consider the player?
Most will say NO. I think the answer is "possibly". What say you?
