Which college QB do we realistically have a chance of drafting?

I don't watch a lot of college ball and was wondering who you think we could get in the later rounds who could turn out to be really good? What about the kid from Georgia?

Aaron Murray out of Georgia - was a mid-first round prospect, got injured and will likely be available in the 3rd/4th/5th. I've been campaigning for us to draft him since September. Similar to Nick Foles he has all the necessary skills to emerge as a franchise QB. He's commonly compared to as "Tony Romo-like" in his playing style.

I'd rather not draft someone who "got injured". We have too many of those guys on our roster.

... Every football player anywhere gets injured. Adrian Peterson and Peyton Manning have both missed a year... His play didn't decline, he just can't participate in the off-season physically so his draft stock crashed. He was at the SR Bowl and was cited by a multitude of different NFL team officials as "highly intelligent" in meetings.

No thanks on injured players,they should refrain from drafting a Qb if they are not seRious about developing one.

With the Cowboys working out that QB the other day I wonder if that's an indication they may not even draft a QB?

We cannot AFFORD to draft injured players, our roster is filled with the dregs of the NFL already.

We can afford them BECAUSE they were injured. Injuries heal and Romo is the QB for the next 2 years at least. Murray in the 4th or 5th would be a great pick.

If it's not going to be in the top 2 maybe 3 rounds, don't bother.

How about unrealistically just for fun. Trade Ware, Austin, and #17 to move up to #2 and get Johnny. I know, I know, I know.....I'm playing guys...But believe me, the dude is gonna be good!!!

At this point it would be hard to give those players away. Too much cap space for a team to want them. You'd have to give up Tyron Smith, or all of this year's picks and next year's first, something like that. It's not happening.

Manziel could drop just like Aaron Rodgers did. I doubt we'd take him at 16. We are too invested in Romo. Even if Manziel excels, he's on the bench for most of his rookie contract according to the plan.

If Murray is still there in the 5th, they should jump all over him. I wouldn't even mind if they grabbed him in the 4th.
