I wouldn't have taken Switzer, I would have selected QB Joshua Dobbs.

Look, the reality is, a team needs 2 good quarterbacks to win consistently. Which quarterbacks can you look at, regardless of achievement, and not see a season where he was mostly, if not completely, unavailable. And where can you find a backup with potential that makes less than a million a year for the next three seasons?

The worst that could happen would be for the Cowboys to turn into a QB farm for desperate teams in exchange for premium draft picks.

New England didn't invent this, it was our Dallas Cowboys. The trade of Craig Morton gave us Randy White. The trade of Steve Walsh gave us a 1st round and 3rd round pick one year, and a 2nd round pick in another year.

The position has not been given enough consideration since 1989. Heck, the Cowboys in the 60's would draft up to three quarterbacks a year.....of course there was 17 rounds....but the point I am making is too much money gets wasted on a guy that sits on a bench making millions, until it is time for him to get in there and help lose the frickin' game. I have had it with the Weedens and Cassels and Ortons and the other overpaid 2nd tier veterans.

How do you rate Foster's projected coverage ability in the NFL?
1. Elite
2. Average
3. Poor
4. Undetermined

Poor. I've watched him try to keep up with TE and RB through cuts and it's not pretty. Then you have the low football IQ issues where he stares down plays, fills the wrong gap, or misreads run pass hard.

Foster gets people pumped with slobberknockers and they judge with their heart and not their brain.

For a while I would have replaced Taco for Watt. McClays interview today on The Break made sense and convinced me.

Nah, not so much. The tapes I've seen of Charlton don't show what McClay was talking about. I didn't see any freaky athletic plays that made me spit out my drink.

Yeah, problem is people think it's a wasted pick, til they actually need the guy. I don't understand the thinking at all, like we better only have Dak or it will hurt his confidence and leadership on the team.....I always call BS on that.

Every position on the field deserves competition, and that includes QB. Heck, a good backup QB as you mention, is worth more in trade than pretty much any position, and it is rather stupid to totally ignore it so you don't hurt the starters 'feelings'.

I do like our draft, but ignoring backup QB and especially LB is troubling for our future.

Who would you pick instead? (Obviously, your player will have to be available instead of the player Dallas picked)

In 2014, I would have traded Ahmad Dixon, Ken Bishop, Terrence Mitchell, Ben Gardner, Devin Street, for anyone still playing

Watt over Taco. Watt is going to tear it up in Pittsburgh. We will look back and regret passing on Watt.
