1: Round in which the six highest-rated passers in the NFL all were drafted
Top 6 passers right now were all drafted in the first round. Coincidence? Obviously not, people may point to teams like the Ravens who won the superbowl with Dilfer, or Brady a 6th round pick. But for the most part if you want a qb with big time potential it has to be done in the first. It's a risky move, but sometimes you have to have the balls to make the move, that's been put off for far too long.
The reason why we would need to do this in 2006 is this: the rookie qb needs to sit one year or possibly even 2 max, before they can be a starter, and usually breakout in the 3rd year. If we draft a qb in 2006, Bledsoe will still definitely be the starter, and whoever we get (probably in mid to late first round) would have no pressure on him to do anything. Depending on how well Bledsoe played and how well the rookie was progressing, Bledsoe could even end up starting in 2007.
The time is perfect to select a young qb.
1)We've got the luxury of a sure starter for once in a really long time with Bledsoe.
2) we've got a defense that is on the verge of breakout, and has a lot of young guys who are starters/future starters.
3) we've got one of the best Running games in the league, JJ is a workhorse beast, and imo TT and Barber will be very good backs after they get more game time.
4) Bledsoe is a nice guy who is actually willing to teach a young guy things, similar to the way Rivera is. Bledsoe wouldnt be too arrogant or scared of losing his job too mentor the young guy. and Bledsoe would be at the end of a very good possibly HOF career and would really have nothing left to prove besides maybe a super bowl.
5) great coach with a keen eye for scouting. If we did draft a qb in the first round, odds are Parcells would choose the right one.
6) Henson is already 3rd on the depth chart, and with his relatively cheap contract, we could keep him on the team for the next couple years at a low cost, without having to cut Bledsoe or the rookie.
7) Dallas has the potential to be a super bowl contender in the next few years, and with Bledsoe at the end of his career we would need a big time qb capable of taking us all the way to the promised land.
8) we wouldnt be taking a QB #1 overall so the contract would be immensely smaller compared to an Alex Smith or Rivers type contract. Our pick next year is going to be from 15-32 most likely somewhere in the 20's. We could get a very good quality qb and still be able to keep henson.
9) This coming year should be a pretty good overall group of QB's. Besides the obvious franchise qb of leinart, Omar Jacobs will probably come out, Quinn could come out, Vince Young might, Reggie McNeal, and a few others who could shoot up depending on this college season.
10) last reason is, what would the cowboys be without their usual Franchise QB. we've got the trademark big play RB with JJ in now. We need our trademark QB to get Dallas back to the superbowl.
