Worst Case Scenario

[Killerinstinct]

The worst case scenario is

Ramsey, Tunsil and Bosa are gone at pick 4.
and Jack's knee doesn't check out.
and no one wants to trade up.

There are 4 elite players worthy of pick no 4 and we may not get any of them.

It is too soon to spend a premium pick on a QB.
Pick no 4 is too high for Zeke.

Who do we get?

It is too soon to spend a premium pick on a QB.

This is completely your opinion that is not shared by many here and many people that cover this team and/or the draft.

There are plenty of people that believe we will have to wait a couple of more years to draft a "franchise" QB.

I bet the Broncos are glad they didn't spend a no 4 pick on Osweiller. Houston thanks them for developing him. If they did. Who knows what he is? It would be the same for us if we draft one now.

 

[Idgit]

I take my top QB over any other player in the draft, so this is a best case scenario.

There's no bad scenario at #4. You've got the two QBs, the DB, and the DE. Jack's in consideration, too, if the knee checks out. There are more good players at positions of need than there are picks in front of us.

And why do we have to wait to draft a franchise QB for a couple of years? Wasn't aware they just popped up when and where you needed them anyways.

Considering they got him at the end of the 2nd Rd, of course they are happy they didn't spend the 4th pick on him. Not to mention he was never a 1st Rd QB to begin with so why would they have took him that high?

Also it's 5 years of control on a 1st Rd pick, and up to 7 on a franchise tag. Are you counting on Romo to play until he's 41? You must be because the only way the same thing happens to us that happened to Denver is if he does play until then. And the whole thing is moot to begin with. If Denver wanted to keep him, they would have kept him. Its an incredibly weak comparison and justification for why you want impact now.

I put 4 players on a separate part of my board in the order I plan on taking them. Goff, Wentz, Ramsey and Bosa. When our time comes, write the top remaining guys name and send in the card. It's no more complicated than that for us this year. There's no scenario where all of the top players are gone by our pick.

I wonder what a franchise tag will cost for a QB in 5 years. Sounds like a good way to try to make up for paying a clip board holder over 6 mil per year for 5 years. There will be opportunities to draft a QB with a later 1st rd pick going forward. Dallas will not be drafting a QB at 4 and I am amazed at how many cling to the belief that they will.

It is not a weak comparison at all. It doesn;t go far enough. Name 1 team in the history of the NFL that has drafted a QB with pick 4 for the purpose of sitting him for 3 or 4 years. Go ahead! Yes the Broncos could have kept him but never even had the chance to see him play enough to determine if he is worth it. And they didn't even waste a no 4 pick on him. Not even close!

Dallas will not be drafting a QB at no 4 unless they are fibbing and they think Romo only has one or two years left. It just isn't going to happen so you and the rest of the QB or bust crowd can continue to talk about QB at 4 for another month but your just wasting your time.

Whether they draft one at 4 or not has nothing to do with whether it's the right approach or right reasoning behind the decision. The only thing that would make it the right decision is if they don't view them as franchise QBs and pass, AND they are right in their assessment. If they don't draft a QB because the scouts said not to and they go on to become that franchise QB, every single person involved in that decision should be fired. Conversely if the scouts say they are, they need to take him. If it doesn't work out, they should be fired as well.

Best case scenario as far as I'm concerned, welcome our next franchise QB!

That would be a dream scenario to many as it is about the only way The cowboys staff can convince Jerry to take Wentz or Goff if they view them as a franchise QB.

The other thing is the nightmare scenario where Jerry and crew sticks with the DE position and takes Buckner or Spence...I say spence if they can not trade down, which is part of your scenario.

Well, if I apply everything you said and everything you said would be true, I would go Buckner.
Me personally, I would take Wentz in that scenario.

If there are four elite players worthy of being drafted in the top four, then we're guaranteed to get one of them unless we trade out of the spot.

 

[DeaconMoss]

This is the team board. Sorry qb guys.

Tunsil, ramsey, trade, Buckner

I think you just described what many in this forum would be the absolute BEST scenario.
For better or worse, the masses want Wentz

...oops, should have read all the posts....as they verify what I'm saying. Flavor of the week is strong.

I'd like to see a poll that includes Wentz , Goff and the 4 players you listed just to see how this forum breaks down percentage wise.

 

[Chuck 54]

You still have a guy at the top of your draft board. You listed players 1-2-3-4. If the top 3 on your board are all gone, you draft #4....simple. That's where you had him rated for your team. Maybe you hoped 1,2, or 3 would drop, but worst case scenerio, they go in the exact order you had them rated. It's not about a QB or a RB or whatever.

If Dallas has Hargraves or Lawson rated at #4 for their team, ahead of the QBs and Elliott, then that's who they take. They don't create their board based on ESPN's rankings of players. There will be a guy they rate #4, and if no one wants to trade, they take him....period. Fans may freak out that they took a player who shouldn't have been drafted till 10-15, but again, that's ESPN and NFL network. The Cowboys do their own rankings and ratings, and the guy atop their board when they are on the clock is the guy to take whether it meshes with what fans have read and think or not.
