Then what...
Draft a QB . Do we try and move up in draft and what do we give up assuming anyone takes the bait or do we settle for whatever falls in our slot??
And how long until he’s developed assuming our Football Idiots draft someone as good as Dak has been.
Do we extend Dalton or go after another aged veteran QB to tie us over until we find a draft pick as good as we got lucky with Dak.
How many years do we wait to become relevant and interesting again?
Im not sure everyone has thought this thru.
1) Yes, draft a quarterback. Move up if that's where the right guy is. We have a top 10 pick. We have 4 extra picks. When is a better time going to present itself? Do you want to go through another disaster season (or 5) to get back to this position? The alternative would be to re-sign Dak, probably have a few good seasons, but no trophies to show for it, then have a gap of a few years where quarterback is a huge question mark. Realize Dak is going to be either an elite quarterback or a Dalton-esque journeyman in 2 years, when he turns 30. So we're already near a possible transition point. And I don't expect a better opportunity to present itself before then.
2) I want to bring in competition. See my recent post about dynasties being built on quarterback competition and not quarterback "friendliness," as this team has been trying to do.
3) Usually an elite quarterback is the starter by roughly the middle of the second year (or earlier), unless he's being held back by another elite quarterback. or Tom Landry.
4) I'm never in favor of signing a veteran backup until you're a real contender that has won playoff games. Until then, you're just stuffing extra money into an unnecessary position. And you're shooting yourself in the foot re: draft capital. If your quarterback goes down for 2 or 3 games, you hand the ball off, play tough D, and go 2-1. If your quarterback goes down in game 5 of the season, you should want to lose as many games as you can.
5) Yes, I've thought this out a lot.
