The only thing standing in the way of Jerry Jones possibly taking a quarterback with the fourth overall pick in this April's draft is Tony Romo. And Jones made it clear at the NFL combine that he believed Romo had plenty of tread left on his delicate clavicle.
I believe now more than ever that Jones was full of it when he made those comments. The Cowboys haven't brought in a legitimate backup to Romo for one simple reason: They are thinking seriously about selecting either Carson Wentz or Jared Goff.
I believe this based on the indifference they've shown to the backup spot in free agency and the whispers coming from Valley Ranch. A report surfaced this weekend that former Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott will be in town to meet with the Cowboys on Sunday. The organization loves the fact that Prescott captained his team four of the five years he was on campus. The fact that he was arrested on DUI charges recently may cause him to fall in the draft, but this is the land of second (and third) chances. Former Eagles personnel man and current ESPN analyst Louis Riddick told 103.3 FM ESPN's "Afternoon Show with Cowlishaw & Mosley" there's almost no way you can watch film of Prescott in college and project him as a starter in the NFL. The Cowboys love his intangibles and I've had one AFC scout tell me that Prescott's quick release reminds him of Aaron Rodgers'. There's a chance now the Cowboys could have Prescott in the third or fourth rounds of the draft.
