What are the odds of the cowboys drafting a qb in rd1.

[thunderpimp91]

i think they could do a lot of things to trade back in the 1st, then move up either to the top of the 2nd or very back of 1st - sounds like there is going to be a lot of teams wanting to move down at a discounted rate so they might be able to get there....and i am hearing the 2/3/4 is where the more value is, the mid to late first seems like mostly 2nd round players

I would love to see a 1st round trade back and a smaller trade up with the 2nd rounder. It almost makes too much sense to actually happen though.

I'm curious, what are the odds of the cowboys moving up if sanders is available at pick 8, or drafting dart at 12. To me those are the only capable qbs of starting besides cam, but he won't be available. And to be honest this is a good year to draft a qb because he can sit for a yr or 2 and learn, also when was the last time dak played a whole season without getting hurt. So Saunders or dart would be a great backup qb and insurance for when dak gets hurt.

RB1 in round 1.

I don’t think any QB outside of Cam Ward is good enough to be a First Rounder. But some teams will fall for the banana in the tailpipe..

GMs are short term oriented, I suppose

Can't wait around in a highly results driven profession.

I agree with your post...i just don't think GMs who need a QB are forgoing Sanders in the 1st because he is a 2nd or 3rd round grade to them, and pivoting to a different QB who is less talented or projected ro be less talented than Sanders in a later round. You take the best QBs as quickly as you can if you need one in this league, not forgoing on one because of his grade and taking a lesser one later in rounds.

I could be wrong. Just seems like QBs get reached on every year...and for good reason.

Kind of an unfair situation to be judged on for GMs.

And to an extent I would agree with you. I think its very unlikely the Cowboys go QB early, but I wouldn't completely rule it out either. Stranger things have happened, plus Dak is 32 and coming off a season ending injury. Really he only has one full season since 2020. Its possible that QB2 is viewed as an elevated need, and they would have an opportunity to groom the next guy at the same time. Again its not what I would predict to happen, but I wouldn't be completely caught off guard if it did happen either.

I completely rule it out. Not to mention neither of the top two QBs are very impressive in my opinion. I can see both going bust.

Much better odds in rounds 3-5.

U think Jerry would sign Dak to what he did, and then take a QB in rd1?

It would be admitting that he doesn't think they have a chance to win anything this year. Granted, that's true that we dont have a chance to win anythingof jote this year, , and I'd actually respect the move, butit won't happen.

Also...it's a bad QB draft.

I can too, but I also think Dart may end up the gem of this class. The Cowboys also met with him at both the senior bowl and the combine. Not that it means they're drafting him, but it does mean some sort of conversation has been had about him.

Part of the thought process is that this is a weak QB class. Use a high pick now because they are forcing it means they are out on potential better options in the next draft or two.

Also the fifth year option isn’t cheap (and not an option unless it’s a first rounder), especially on a guy who has barely played if at all. The tag is expensive also. Would be nice to time things a little better and take at least a small advantage of the rookie deal. Next year? I wouldn’t argue, but since it’s their biggest player addition every year, I doubt they use a first anytime soon.

Honestly, you just don’t sign a QB to a four year deal for record money that’s structured to where you can’t get out of it until after three without significant pain, then have the next move be to find his successor immediately.

They can try to get lucky for a third time in a row for cheap, and probably will try that, but the next QB that wins here is probably drafted very high after rock bottom is hit….whenever that is.

5th year tag really isnt bad for a player who hasnt played all that much. For QBs this year it would only be $22M. Even the franchise tag at $40M isnt a deal breaker. I agree the timing is still a little off, 2026 or 2027 feels better in terms of taking advantage of a rookie contract, but we also have to acknowledge that we are talking about Jerry & Stephen here.

I’d sing a different tune next year, OR if this QB class was a great/deep one…..and if it was I’d have blasted them for not knowing that and extending Dak regardless.

I hope no one actually thinks these two are planning ahead in that type of regard. They are reactive and on a season to season basis. The kid even admitted that “we haven’t yet prepared for life without Dak.”

Draft a Qb next year.

Would probably have be Sanders on the board, and that won't happen.

 

[Chuck 54]

Absolutely “0”

First, it would be stupid to draft a QB in round one at the beginning of Dak’s contract.
Second, there is no safe QB in this draft. Even if you had your choice of any QB out there, none are worth the gamble of a first round pick when you both have a starting QB and have so many needs to improve your roster.

Build your roster with good players over the next 3 years, hopefully get back to a roster that can compete and be a stronger team when it’s time to draft a QB early.

Zero....but it would signify the Front Office is delusional......this is not new.

JMO, im not drafting a guy in the first round to have him be a backup for 3 years. We dont have that luxury. We need immediate impact players in the early rounds. Plus, I dont wanna waste a QBs rookie deal with him on the bench. Maybe it’s just me however.

Exactly. You don’t spend a first rnd pick on a backup. And there won’t be a QB worth the pick when we pick

 

[starfan1]

0% now maybe if Jaxon Dart made it to 44 they might but even that’s a long shot. Look for a qb in round 5 or 6
