Strategy to acquire QB, DE and CB

[DeaconMoss]

We have the same needs every draft....Defense

actually no longer need RB and possibly MLB (if Jaylon recovers).

 

[jnday]

If Taylor is anything more than a flash in the pan, Buffalo is not going to give up on him.

I would bet that he is never a top QB in this league.

 

[CowboyChris]

If Buffalo slaps exclusive franchise on, then we are done.
The argument is if they slap nonexclusive franchise on.
Do we go for it and lose 2 1st round picks and $20m/year or risk losing 1-2 years of OL/Dez/Zeke's primes?

dude, we are not going to pursue Taylor, what gave you this crazy idea? I wouldn't give our 2 1st round picks for anyone except maybe Rogers.

dude, you seriously would not trade 2 #1 and $20/yr for a 27 year QB with 2 consecutive probowls???
think about what eagles and rams just did - and those are 2 #1 picks and more for UNPROVEN rookies.
eagles and rams FOs are not stupid - there is a price for a franchise QB.

are you not worry romo is becoming fragile?

a team only has so many chances for the super bowl
to develop a qb, you are using up 1-2 years of the primes of the OL and Zeke - with no guarantees the QB will be good.
do we want to waste OL/Zeke's primes like we wasted romo's and ware's?

a probowl young qb will open our winning window for at least 3 years (until dez needs to be replaced that can be drafted).
with a probowl qb, we only need to worry about D for a couple years.
the offense would be totally stacked.

Obviously, if taylor regresses in 2016, then price goes down because he may not get franchised.
then this discussion is moot.

 

[Cowboy06]

I'm not a big FA guy...especially for QBs. I prefer to build by the draft, but that being said I would go for the DE, but only on a good deal that doesn't break the bank.

 

[Angus12]

2 1st rounders and 20mil per for Tyrod Taylor?

Really?

Seriously?


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

I specifically said i wouldn't do that for any QB except for Rogers, I wouldn't give more than a 3rd for Taylor, as for Romo, i think he has 2 years left, we can either hope Dak develops, or draft another QB, or sign a veteran till we get someone capable.

Just stop I was gonna say nice work, keep working on it and then I saw your age...COME ON MAN....

oh well, we just dont agree.
like i said, if taylor regresses in 2016, then there is no argument.

romo may have 2 years left if he does not break.
i remember the hit that romo's first collarbone break happened.
it did not look that bad, and he was done.

it is not just taylor, but any top 10 qb under 30.
i would consider any probowl qb to be top 10?

we can hope Dak develops, and we all hope that.
we may have no choice but draft another QB or more if we cannot get a free agent.

yes, i am old enough to remember aikman near the end, being frail and running for his life.
unfortunately romo is starting to look similar to that now with the back and collarbone.
why lose 1-2 years of a window - we got a really really strong O already.

The point was being 40....you should know better than to suggest giving up 2 1sts for Taylor....Madden Style

 

[jobberone]

lol, it is premature but there is no cowboys news, though romo is throwing in otas.

hard to believe dak shows much unless romo is injured for the year.
at which point everyone will be freaking out over getting a qb.

if lawrence and gregory have great years, de will be lower priority.
but even then can we trust gregory?
if we can, so much more reason to nail down a franchise qb.

Good points. Need a QB in the near future to develop or if must throw in the fire. We need to reload often on the DL. More and more critical to have pressure.

Being 40, I know when my QB may be near the end.
Being 40, I also know that championship windows dont open often.

It would be nice if Tony last another 2 years.
But I consider the Cowboys are near-contenders with a dominant O with 8 possible probowlers.
Why waste their primes by hoping Romo lasts another 2 years.

Do you consider Taylor to be top 10 QB?
I would do that for a top 10 QB.

Rams and Eagles FO are not stupid.
Rams just traded 2x1st round, 2x2nd round for Goff, who has with no track record (but at 1/3 the price) - moving up 14 draft slots.
Eagles just traded 2x1st round and 2 3rd round for Wentz - moving up 6 draft slots. Wentz is even more green than Goff.

 

[gimmesix]

I would draft another QB next year, possibly in the second round depending on how healthy Romo is this year and how the team does.

If we end up drafting early again, then I would go after the top QB.

However, I think it's going to take both the draft and free agency to fix our defense, so the first pick would be spent on a defender if we do well with Romo this year. It's too early, though, to know exactly what we'll need to do.

I don't see us going for a veteran QB, though, unless there's just no potential in Dak to be a No. 2.

Thanks. It seems a lot of people are dead set against it.

I am glad we drafted Dak.
But I dont see any way we will see if he is any good in the 1st year.

If we have a chance to get a 27 year probowl QB, I would certainly jump on it.
Even if the price is similar to what the Eagles and the Rams just paid.
Only we get a proven guy instead of risky rookies...

 

[JoeKing]

Some of the names I'm seeing suggested are just flat out not good fits for our scheme. We need a pocket passer, not a duel threat guy in the mold of Russell Wilson. We can argue which scheme we prefer till the cows come home but its a non-sequitur argument. Our starting offense needs to learn one scheme like it's nobody's business and the second string needs to be prepared to play that scheme as well... including the b/u QB. Moore and Prescott are learning to be an under center QB pocket passers for a reason. Showers is being used on the PS as our Russell Wilson double so don't fool yourself into thinking he's being readied to play in our games.

If Romo's healthy, I don't think we need a 27-year-old Pro Bowler behind him. It's a nice luxury, but it's more likely that we'll try to groom QBs until we have to replace Romo.

Plus, a 27-year-old Pro Bowler isn't going to sign to be Romo's caddie.

 

[waving monkey]

I hope we can do better at QB then those two.
Let's draft our team thats the new policy and I like it.
