Broaddus keeps dropping possible hints about 34

[conner01]

You can't develop a quarterback. Quarterbacks are or they are not.

So you think romo was ready to play day one?
I don't think so
There is a reason most qb's get better over time, they learn to play the position and the time watching from the bench is very valuable

 

[KB1122]

I mean, I have big doubts about Prescott. But at least his analytics apparently give him a chance. I wouldn't spend a draft pick on Cook or Hackenburg in any round, because I know they are not going to succeed.

 

[DFWJC]

I have said all along I wouldn't be surprised if they took Lynch at 4.

I think I would bet anyone 1k on that one.
I say no chance at all of that happening.

Trade up from 34 maybe

By the end of year one, middle of year two at the latest. And Romo isn't an elite quarterback. So I don't really care about his example either way.

Let me put it this way, if we choose Prescott and if Prescott is the real thing, then he will be the starter by the middle of next year. The idea that the Cowboys seem to have that he'll wait patiently studying the playbook until Romo decides to retire ... it won't happen that way.

I'm with you not against you on this. I just don't count out Jerry and co. making that decision.

If that's the case then that's why this franchise has been mediocre the last two decades. There are no QB besides Lynch worth that high 2nd and we have proven that we cannot develop QBs. At top 2nd there will be a lot of talent. Picking a QB is a throw away pick...very sad.

So, it's better that Dallas try not to pick a QB for the future, just because they've been unsuccessful at it previously? So, even though Romo is 36, has a bad back, and clavicle, and cannot stay healthy, you would rather the Cowboys Just ignore drafting a QB. Maybe the Boys can just hope and pray another UDFA QB falls into their lap and become the next Romo.

They shouldn't ignore the QB spot. But frankly, it would have been smarter to trade up to 2 to get Wentz than blow the 34th pick on Connor Cook.

No he wasn't, but he did have the "it" factor and that was plain as day when he played in PS games.

If we go corner and then QB say hello to a new HC in 2017!

Yep. Both Hack and Cook will be nothing more then Drew Stanton type players in the NFL. I could see Jerry pimping Hack however because of his blonde hair and good looks, as he has the look, similar to Drew Henson, ugh!

 

[Idgit]

Broaddus is like a golden retriever. He's got some access, but he falls for every head fake. I don't trust him to read the situation correctly at all.

I could see us moving back in for Lynch if he drops a bit. That's about it. Maybe they like one of the second round QBs better than the rest of us, but I just can't see how they possibly could.

By the end of year one, middle of year two at the latest. And Romo isn't an elite quarterback. So I don't really care about his example either way.

Lol. Yes, it will happen that way. Or it's going to take a lot better player than Prescott is going to be at that point to make Tony sit.

 

[jjktkk]

The one scenario he talked about moving up was if a player (QB) got down far enough they could trade their 2nd round pick and their 4th round pick and be able to move up into the first. Those two picks would equal 656 on the trade chart.



Again that is moving the 2nd and 4th picks and keep in mind that they have another 4th round pick at the end of the fourth as a comp pick.

Moving the 2nd and 3rd pick would equal 815

So you have 656 with 2nd and 4 picks and 815 with the 2nd and 3rd picks

Here is the values of pick 20 on in the first round


20 850
21 800
22 780
23 760
24 740
25 720
26 700
27 680
28 660
29 640
30 620
31 600

I think Lynch might be the only one they would consider trading into the first round and i don't know if he gets that low.

As far as staying at 34 and taking one.

I would hazard to guess that Cook and Hack are the ones slated for that area (and taking into account that I think Lynch is gone in the first)...UNLESS...UNLESS they are afraid to wait to the 3rd or 4th rounds and missing out on the other level of QBs so they just do it now and take someone at 34 other than Cook and Hack (Dak maybe).

Personally...I think if they are not going to take a QB in the first round (whether at 4, whether trading down in the first or trading back up into the first) for Lynch...I say just wait till the 3rd or 4th and if that third level of QBs are gone I think they might just pull what they did with the RBs last year and not see a QB worth bringing in after a number of the ones they like are gone. After a certain point it might just be a wasted pick to bring in QBs that might be left.

In this scenario, they would be looking at drafting the 2nd coming of Stephen McGee all over again. I sincerely hope the organization has learned their lesson from that debacle.

There goes any creditability you have as a QB evaluater

If Lynch drops in the 1st, I can see this scenario.

 

[JohnsKey19]

These guys are backup types. Unless Lynch somehow falls into the 20s, i wouldn't bother with the other guys(Cook/Hack, etc). Take a developmental type later. Look, it stinks we're stuck in this position at QB but please don't reach on a QB you'll be looking to upgrade this same time next year. Not at pick #34 or higher.

 

[Kolemmitt]

With the talent in this draft we should be able to find solid contributors at the top of rounds 2 and 3 to go with a hopefully future all pro at #4. If we don't get one of the top three QB's, then I would definitely just want to wait until round 4. I think Brissett, Hogan, Allen, and maybe even Dak will be there and they interest me just as much as Cook or Hack.

 

[Teague31]

Ugh. A QB at 34 is the absolute worst case scenario

Not ignore but don't reach out of desperation. I've been a proponent of taking one of the top three QB's since the beginning. Rest of the QB class this year doesn't excite me at all. 2nd rounder should be a starter in this league and I just can't see anyone besides the top 3 having a chance. The Hacks and Cooks are just.....yuck...especially at 2nd round.

 

[btcutter]

What QB have we drafted that we couldn't develope? The problem hasn't ability to develope a QB, but not taking a QB to develope. We don't know if they can develope a QB because you just can't turn a Yugo into a Benz
That said since we didn't get a top prospect I agree throwing a pick at a QB is a mistake. Fix a much of your roster as you can and wait on the QB. I was all in for one of the top 2 but I would touch any QB past lynch till after the 4th rnd and if I took a QB late it would be Allen

Both.... we finally tried McGee in the 4th round. We found Moore who showed promise and let him walk. This FO has been shortsighted for too long.

 

[reddyuta]

Cook and Hack suck, I wouldn't even draft them let alone at 34.

 

[reddyuta]

No no no no no no no no no no


NOOOOOOOOOO

If this team isn't going to take one of the top qbs..which clearly they aren't

Then don't waste a second rounder when we have much bigger needs...

This team is clueless...they're straddling the fence...win now or build for later...they're doing neither

They are very inconsistent.they say they are all in on Romo but they are extremely penny pinching in FA.
