Best QB option left

[Stash]

At this point, I think the choice ends up being Dak Prescott at the top of round 4. With this line, and a solid running game, I think adding a developmental guy like him makes a lot of sense. He did out up very good numbers playing a tough schedule.

Our best bet is to trade down to around #6, pick up an extra pick and then draft Lynch. I don't think he makes it past San Francisco. He's very much like Mariota, just not as fast, but with better downfield throwing ability.

I'm starting to think Lynch at 4 is the right move, given all circumstances.

I don't know where our next QB is going to come from. Probably not the next couple of draft classes from what I read.

It's damn expensive to trade your way into a maybe.

Forget value and where a player is supposed to be drafted. You have ZERO shot in this league without a top QB, and WITH one, you can have an average roster and still compete. That position is by FAR the most important of any in any sport. It's worth five quality players at other positions.

ABSOLUTELY on the Lynch part. Although going to 6 would mean Baltimore coming up, which they generally don't do, and for who?

Take Lynch at 4 and don't get cute. Maybe he busts, but I think its a shot that must be taken

Something about Lynch turns me off, just don't like his demeanor. His upside is fantastic and I would take him in the first however, but not until mid to late in a trade back.

For me it's Prescott in the third or Driskel or Brissett in round four.

Assuming Goff and Wentz are gone, which is the best option:

1) Lynch at 4
2) Lynch at 15 + Titans 2s (Tunsil)
3) Cook in 2nd
4) Hackenberg in 3rd
5) Dak in 3rd
6) other QB in 4/5/6

2 is hypothetical. The rest seem likely possibilities.

Considering QB only, and that the Titans won't trade, the Cowboys have to go get Lynch at 4. With only 3 elite prospects you have to take Lynch when he's available.

I'd say outside of Lynch at 4, several of those options are possible.

I don't think Dallas would trade up to 15 for Lynch, but if he's still around in the 20s, maybe the team would see if it can strike a deal.

If the team feels Cook is valued in the 30s, I'd have no problem with Dallas taking him to develop.

Not sure how the team feels about Hackenberg, but I do believe Prescott has been Dallas' fallback option for a while and will take him in the third if he's there and it didn't get Lynch or Cook.

Really? Even after seeing two franchises give the better part of two drafts to move up to draft quarterbacks?

And yet "it's amazing" to you?

Who's playing defensive end for this 2016 Super Bowl contender for the first month of the season, if not longer?
Joey Bosa? Even the great pass rushers don't make a huge impact their first year, that's well documented.

Let's face it, this team is in a world of trouble, and there is no 'quick fix' for it. They need to stop putting their fingers in the dike and start building a new one.

If there's no quick fix and we are in a world of hurt according to you, that's even more of a reason not to pass on elite talent and reach on a QB that isn't rated high enough to use a 4th pick on.

The best way for us to get better is by drafting talent and developing a young QB behind Romo for the next few years. You don't need to reach on a QB to do this because statistically the odds of Lynch working out versus any of the other guys like Hackenberg, Brisett, or Dak aren't much different at all.

And the 2 franchises you just mentioned that gave up the better part of their drafts don't have QB remotely close to Romo in the talent department. So why should we follow suit and grab the THIRD ranked guy that early? No you draft Zeke or Bosa or Ramsey or trade back to draft MORE talent. Hell, lynch might even be their in a trade back situation so you get him and then some.

Taking him at 4 would be a colossal mistake.

Based on recent events, I know which position continues to sky rocket in terms of value. Do you?

Based on what facts exactly? Other than your talk? What evidence supports your claim here?

Because for the vast majority of 2015, we didn't have that quarterback either! Or did you miss the 2015 season, or the fact that our quarterback misses way more time than any of the league's other franchise quarterbacks? Must have missed that, huh?

No you draft Zeke or Bosa or Ramsey or trade back to draft MORE talent. Hell, lynch might even be their in a trade back situation so you get him and then some.

No more "colossal" than any of the boneheaded moves that you're advocating, least of all over drafting and overpaying for a running back at #4 when you could have gotten an established one in free agency for less money and no draft pick!

Just terrible...

 

[BlindFaith]

Maybe Hogan in the 4th round.

Garrett coached him at the senior bowl.
He's smart.
He's just as mobile as either Wentz or Goff.
Has enough arm to make all the throws.
Accurate.

Hogan's Heroes...

Not committed to this discussion enough to provide statistical evidence and links for you, but you'll see next week.

You should prepare to be upset because Lynch at 4 ain't happening. I'm confident our scouting department disagrees with your approach and as a Cowboys fan, this gives me comfort.

After this complete mismanagement by the Joneses:

Lynch at 4 (don't get cute with a trade down)
OR
Hackenburg is a wildcard - last year, he was projected to be 1st rounder for this draft. Via trade down in the 1st, get an extra pick or two and select Hackenburg.

The whole thing sucks though - notion of a developmental QB is fool's gold (especially with Cowboys coaching staff involved).

[Common Sense]

All of the media guys tied to the Cowboys have been talking about Lynch as a possibility at #4 since before any of the trades. It wouldn't surprise me at all.

As expected. Yet another person trying to make claims they have no support for.

I'm not expecting it at all. I'm simply refuting the uninformed nonsense being spewed by uninformed clowns who are now trying to tell everyone else that missing out on the top quarterbacks is now a good thing.

I'm confident our scouting department disagrees with your approach and as a Cowboys fan, this gives me comfort.

And I'm hopeful that they truly know more than the uninformed people here, making baseless claims about subjects they obviously know nothing about and then running away when called on that fact.

I'm not going to beat up the Joneses for not drafting a quarterback they never had the opportunity to draft. I can't scream about them not paying that draft price.

But as for the rest? Yeah, it does suck. Especially if you now have to put your faith in these coaches developing anybody.

We'll see next week. I get that you're frustrated with losing out on the QBs you want but we are in a great position to add some significant talent to our team.
With our favorable schedule, if we play this draft right, we can position ourselves to be extremely competitive this year.

I'm not sure how "competitive" we can be, given the needs and now the suspension issues. But as fans, we can all agree that we can hope for the best.
