It seems like Wentz is flying up the draft board. If the trend continues, he will be a top 10 pick come draft time so it wouldn't really be reaching.

Just know that our team will have the most information on him.

A month ago people were saying only 2 QBs would go first round and doubting whether these QBs were worth high picks. They were also saying Wentz would be guaranteed to be available in the second round.

Now a lot of the mock drafts have 4 QBs in the first with Goff being a top 4 pick. Wentz is now getting rated mid first with some putting him as high as seven overall.

There's a clear trend. QBs are rising stock.

Well a few years ago both Johnny Manziel, Teddy Brodgewater and probably Derek Carr were considered top 10 picks around the same time---Bridgewater was considered number one. That just shows a ton can change.

I remember a few years ago getting blasted for mocking Aaron Donald to the Cowboys at pick #16. "A reach", they said. "He will be there in the 3rd", they said.

I am one that hopes they don't waste #4 on a QB. Imo none of these Qb's in this years draft are franchise Qb's. but who really knows.

I know this... If you pick a QB high there's a chance he's gonna be a bust. But There's a very good chance when Romo goes down or retires we gonna get retreads like after aikman retired.

I disagree. What made it so hard to replace Aikman was not having first round picks for two consecutive seasons and horrible drafting. We could've had a shot at Drew Brees, for example, if not for the Galloway trade.

We were also awful at drafting then. We can improve some in that regard still but we are nowhere near as bad as we were in the late 90s/early 00s.

The thing about Wentz or any other QB picked at #4...

I remember when Troy was drafted... All through his senior season at UCLA, he was going to be a top draft pick. There was none of this "Well is he worth a picking at the top of the 1st round" kind of thing. That's what's scary about all 3 of these QB's being named as potential picks at #4.

I'll bite, just draft Treadwell.

Treadwell is overrated to me. I wouldnt pick him at 4. To me he is a marginal top 10 prospect. Isnt nearly as good as Watkins amd Cooper were coming out and I dont even think he was as good a prospect as White was last year. Asfar as Dallas goes, he doesnt offer us enough of what we dont already have to be worth a top 10 pick. As a #2 WR he is redundant with Bryant, and isnt as much a deep threat as Bryant let alone someone we want to complete him with

You don't agree that Bryant, Treadwell, Williams, and Beasley would claim some serious game time attention?

4th overall? hmmmm. we will have to wait and see...I still think Defense or Treadwell with the #4 and grab Connor Cook with the 2nd rounder or use the 3rd and trade back into the 2nd to get him

Agree, think we need to wait and see........They key is, what will Jason Garrett think of this kid after coaching him at the Senior Bowl. Wentz has his opportunity. Can he convince the Cowboys he is the man?....he has all the tools, the opportunity is there....the Kid just needs to show it at the Senior Bowl.

Yes, but not for the 4th overall pick. I dont want to spend that high a pick on a guy who I think will be more Michael Crabtree then Dez Bryant. In our offense I think we would get better production from Cory Coleman then we would from Treadwell, an Coleman might be there in the 2nd

I'd definitely spend a fourth round pick on him..... As would any team, I'm guessing.

you know he means our #4 over all select.

but this is exactly what i.m talking about take him if you think his your guy

the scribes answer was " if you think this is your guy", he'll win you more games then any other position
period

lets see how he does in the senior bowl.

this is it, I'm on the Wentz for president wagon but if the coaches dont see it
after coaching him for the senior bowl then 'things changed' and I'm looking for the
next great QB else where, it never ends
