This scenario looks like 2016 again.For every QB coming out in this draft to shine. Lawrence and Fields are probably givens at the top 2 picks but the more QB's like Trask, Wilson, Jones and Lance look good they entice teams to move up and take QB's off the board and move what this team needs down the board and within reach.
Six QB's are thought to be 1st rounders in this draft and where they fall is critical to the Cowboys, now in 5th but with 4 other 4-9 teams so they could actually win their way out of the top 10.
That might not affect some teams but this team needs their 1st rounder to start from day 1. And he needs to be a necessity pick, not a luxury pick like this last draft.
Back then we drafted Zeke at 4 and Dak at 4th rd
We were looking for Romo's backup and found him in Dak.
That worked out well.
Look for us to repeat something similar.
We are predictable that way.
I see us drafting a QB at #1 and backup Dak at a cheap cost with a Rookie contract.
Then we Tag Dak one more year and see how he progresses in 2021. If you recovers and resumes quality play..
We go ahead and trade the QB we drafted in 2021 and get our pick back plus maybe more.
Then we do a long term Dak deal in 2022.
This is a responsible decision that has many options for everybody.
I am not like the knee-jerk fans here.
Make quality decisions and let the results marinate.
I can be hired as the new GM at anytime.
