Cowboys 2016 Draft: Dallas Needs To Make Quarterback A Priority

http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2016...t-dallas-needs-to-make-quarterback-a-priority




One of the most talked about topics this offseason has been how the Cowboys should approach their quarterback situation. Fans got a good glimpse of life without Tony Romo last season and it was horrifying. Father time continues to linger around AT&T Stadium just waiting to punch Romo's ticket. Despite Jerry Jones Nostradamus-like calculations, it remains unclear as to just how long Tony can keep going. The end is coming and when it does - what are the Cowboys going to do?

It is expected that the Cowboys front office will look at ways to give the team some better options at the position this offseason. With no activity happening in free agency, all eyes turn to the upcoming draft to address this need. A lot of people have their own ideas as to what would be the best way to go about it. There have been some compelling arguments made on this issue, which include points such as:

• Don't waste #4 on a quarterback as a player at different position would provide a more immediate impact.
• That's a big investment to just sit around with a clipboard for a few years.
• Good quarterbacks can be found past the first round.
• The best chance to land a franchise QB is with an early pick.

We all have our own thoughts on which of these reasons make the most sense, but many of us are completely clueless when it comes to trying to figure out what the Cowboys' front office is thinking. Fans are hoping the team pulls a strong-arm rabbit out of their hat come draft time because we don't want to see this team become stuck in purgatory while they wait for the next good quarterback to show up in Dallas. It's happened before and it could happen again.

Some of us remember that time all too well, but for those that don't - let's take a little stroll down memory lane...

To be honest I don't know why most are shock at the disaster at the qb depth after Troy retired. This team didn't invest NOTHING at the position but a 2nd rounder after Troy left. If this team was the Browns I could defer but let's be honest here JJ did nothing but bring in scrubs year after year. Drafted a qb in the second round his whole scouting department told him to avoid. Until this day I don't know why Drew Brees wasn't look into as an option that year. At the moment JJ is doing the same thing. Avoiding drafting every possible qb that stand a chance at starting and bring in UDFA'S that can't Crack the practice squad.

We absolutely lucked into Romo, and we still weren't even trying back then.
