Then we are in agreement. The only caveats are 1. I don't think we will get a top 4 pick in the near future. The team is getting better and 2. The QB's coming out of college the next couple of years are crap. They make Goff, Wentz and Lynch look like Marino, Kelly and Elway in the 83 draft.
You say that now. But I'm sure there will be a guy who just seems to figure out and blows up out of no where. Happens every year. Granted, a sure thing of the Andrew Luck variety will likely not appear out of nowhere, but I would not be surprised to see someone come out of equal if not better QB potential then what is coming out this year. The problem is, 1. Who fits the Cowboys offense the best and 2. Will he be there at 4? My guess is if the answer is yes to 1, with the Cowboys luck, the answer will be "no" to 2. Zeke on the other hand, absolutely should be there.
Obviously, the ideal scenario is one where the Cowboys trade back a few spots to pick up another 2nd and/or 3rd and still get Zeke. But I'll settle for Zeke at 4 straight up, as well.
With that statement, I should probably provide a better late than never notice: This belief that 4 is too high to draft a running back is retarted. It makes no sense whatsoever to me. This belief that running backs are a dime a dozen and you can find one just as good throughout the draft is also equally retarted. This isn't painting by numbers...far more complicated than that. The question is simple, though. Who will help the team more, in the short-term and in the long-term. Clearly, Zeke is a pick with the short term in mind. And that, in my belief, is where it should be if you want to get as much out of the end of Romo's career as possible. If you have given up on Romo, completely understandable - draft his eventual replacement or start the longer than one season process of fixing the defense - clearly Zeke is not for you because that would be a win now move.
