I watched Wentz close in his title game and again at the Senior Bowl. He is not Luck and I don't think he has the field presence of
Mariotta from last year. I would not invest a #4 in him when you need Ramsey or Bosa in the defense. I could also make a case
for Buckner or Jack over Wentz.

But you want a NON playmaker in Ramsey at #4. A guy in 41 starts has 3 ints.

I'd be very interested in hearing any "case" that you would care to make about any of these players.

Only 2 2-Sigma SPARQ players recorded from the combine this year.
Ramsey at 99% was the top player
Hargreaves at 98% was the second player

Both from Florida and neither was a QB.

Ramsey was the top CB and top SPARQ participant at the combine.
Bosa is still rated the top defensive lineman on at least 7 draft sites.
Jack is rated as the best LB on 8 sites I visited and many have him listed as close to Tunsil in player rankings.
Buckner is the lowest rated I selected for defense but is likely to be the choice of San Diego at #3 if they don't trade out.

Sorry, but you'll have to do better than that.

If 'draft sites' were some end-all, be-all for drafting, those guys would be working for NFL teams and not some website. Each and every one of these 'Top draft picks' has a question mark surrounding them. From Bosa, to Ramsey, to Jack, to Goff, to Wentz.

The fact is that there is no sure thing, can't miss player in this entire draft.

And if you're taking a risk no matter what, you may as well be doing it on the most coveted position in all of pro sports.

If I'm going to take a risk, any risk, it's going to be for a player who is going to be in the game playing for me this year. I'm not gambling on
a player who is going to sit for 3 years. But, opinions vary and there are loads of disaggreements on this issue for sure.

Did the combine record Ramsey's lack of plays in college? lol.

Romo making it thru 16 games this year is highly unlikely. I'll risk that he won't and the backup qb gets game experience.

Nonsense, Romo is going in for surgery. The Doctors know what to do. They can rebuild him...make him taller, stronger, faster, better.
Romo will be our new and improved 17mil dollar man and lead us to glory... Jerry said it... Romo will be our Bionic Man for 5 more years...

Book it!

Just as he went in for surgery before on the collarbone. Just as he went in surgery before for the ribs.

Ah??? Wentz didn't play that many games his senior year. Oh, he didn't play that many college games either and all
were against inferior teams with inferior talent. Geez...find some new material.

New "superman" DNA will make him indestructible and the collar bone will be fitted with Titanium plate.
No worries...and no more problems...
Championship!!!

Jones said he believes Romo "will be doing the heavy lifting for us at quarterback and for the team for the next four or five years."

First I laugh, then I cry.

:) Wait, if I say something they will rush me off to Siberia and receive a permanent time out.

I just have to agree to a series of Bullwinkle the Moose and pay for the Ripple around the burn barrel. Otherwise, I'm not entitled to an opinion or view on subject...proven wrong until agreed upon?

I don't care how many QB's the Cowboys bring in or DRAFT...Without Romo healthy, we are never going to smell a Championship
in the next 5-10 years. That's a fact...Jack!

Ah! go ahead and say it. The trip to Siberia will do you some good. I hear the Black Sea is nice in summer!

Well, the truth is that we had three of those guys last year - Byron Jones, Randy Gregory, and La'el Collins. And it didn't help us in the wins and losses department.

And if I'm "gambling" on anyone, I'm doing it for the most coveted position in sports, the one that half of the league still doesn't have, and the one that costs a fortune, even if you're right.

Ask yourself about any of the other positions in the league:

Can I get a cornerback in free agency? Sure. Pass rusher? Costly, but yes. Linebackers, running backs, safeties, offensive line, receivers, you name it. If you have enough cap space, you can fill any need you have. Now, apply that to starting quarterback. Your money's no good here! It doesn't matter how much cap room a team has, they can't buy a starting quarterback.

Even quarterbacks like Cousins - where the jury is still out for some people - are getting franchise tagged for top money to prevent any chance of them leaving. The Daltons, Kaepernick's, and Tannehills of the world are getting $100 million despite still having question marks. Nothing shows how rare the position is more than moves like that!

But, opinions vary and there are loads of disaggreements on this issue for sure.

That's a very true and reasonable position on things, no doubt about it.

On the starting QB thingy...If the Cowboy's offered a pick and money they might be able to pry Jimmy Garoppolo from the Pats.
They have done that before and I think I'd rather have him than the 3 QB's rated where they are in this draft.

There is something appealing to freezing onto sand...:)

I hear Putin is looking for someone to help him manage his phantasy football team this year...Might be
a career changer for you.
