What QB do we take?

[Gaede]

The team is clearly sniffing around backup QBs in this draft. As they should be, since all we have behind Dak is Gilbert Garrett (or is the other way around?) and the Nooch.



Who do we take? Who do you want?

 

[HelioOliveira]

If you draft a QB this year then his contract will run out in 4 years, like Dak. So I don't think we take anyone. And to be honest I don't like anyone
except top5, Trask and Mond. Maybe in a couple years.
I think Gilbert is the backup and we will propably sign a cheap one if necessary.

I completely agree. Dak is the man for four more years at least and they have a cheap backup in Gilbert who showed well when given the chance. I don’t think they should or will invest any significant draft resources in a third quarterback to carry a clipboard.

 

[Gaede]

Hmm I disagree. If Dak goes down, we need someone who can give us something extra (eg. running ability) to stay competitive for the short term. A backup QB who can run would also give us some neat options in our playcalling (like Hill in NO).

We also need some longer term insurance if something else happens to Dak.

Gilbert looked good for one game, but his history of bouncing around the league doesn't bode well for him. Nooch is trash.

It's the most important position on the team, and our depth chart is horrendous.

Let's say we're in the playoff hunt, end of season, every he matters. Dak gets a fluke one game injury. You guys feel good with Gilbert and/or Nooch to keep us competitive?

I like the idea of Mond in the 4th if he is there. Develop him for 2 years and flip him for a higher pick. Then rinse and repeat

 

[J-man]

Sam would be a good back up QB prospect. So would Book I think.
But I'm not taking either one or any other QB before the 6th or 7th rd

 

[reddyuta]

I like Trask in the 3rd Rd.

 

[HungryLion]

Anyone that’s available with the 4th round comp pick or later.

Weirdest logic ever. Contracts can be extended. We probably aren’t drafting a QB to be the future full time starter. You draft a developmental QB so you can have a cheap, competent backup QB vs paying a vet $3-5m+ to be a backup. Also, if the guy really develops you can trade him for draft picks.

You’re just fine in a 1 game scenario with GG. The fact that he’s been around is a positive in that case, he has some modicum if experience. He’ll be waaaay better than a 4+ round rookie.

Nooch isn’t a consideration. He might, and that’s a big might, be capable near the end of Dak’s contract.

I understand but I don't want to waste a 3rd round on Trask/Mond and I don't see any other QB that would be competent. I would wait one or two years when we fix some of our problems and draft a good prospect on 3rd/4rd round when the QB class improves. This year I don't think we go that way.

I disagree. Gilbert looked good in one game. But that doesn't mean he can be a reliable backup for us. He will be more reliable than a 4th rounder right away, but its possible the 4th rounder will offer some skills Gilbert just can't. And thinking long term, chances are that 4th rounder (with a talent edge) will grow to be a better backup than Gilbert as well

I’m not saying don’t take a QB this year. I’ve taken a QB, generally Ehlinger or Beuchelle, in most simulated mocks I’ve done. I just don’t believe they will be anywhere near as capable for 1 game this year as Gilbert. Any QB taken this year would be replacing the Nooch.

That's true.

I usually take Buechele as well, Trask, Newman, or Mond.

I guess Mond will be taken too early for us, but I like Newman's traits

I did a mock yesterday with no QB but honestly, I suspect given they have 10 picks, they'll throw one at a QB probably in the 5th, 6th or 7th rounds.

Cooper Rush is also still with the Cowboys.


Well if we have to get a backup. I am very high on Felipe Franks from Arkansas

 

[32BellyOption]

Ehlinger, Trask or Mond would all be good picks 4th round at earliest.

I don’t see us using a 3rd but I could see a 4th since we have two 4’s. If groom up a 4 who is a good backup or traded for future 2 I’m all for it.

Franks is another guy I'm intrigued by
