Would Cowboys consider taking Penix or Nix in 1st round?

[Brax]

While both were initially expected to go early in 2nd round there has been recently some rumors they could go late in 1st round if you have that need.

There was a write up this week in local papers how the Cowboys could trade down to gain an extra pick in 2nd or 3rd round allowing them to reach later in 1st round if you believed either of these QB’s were potential starters . They aren’t likely to be there later in 2nd round.

Teams often stretch and mortgage much to draft what they hope is their next franchise QB. And if we are considering or looking to move on from Prescott this would seem like a good move to make .

Why wait until next years draft when there is some good prospects which could be there for us in this draft. This all pends of course if we are truly prepared to move on.

I’m not sure I wouldn’t put these two QB’s close to same category as the top 4 expected to be drafted in 1st round.

Those top 3 QB’s all going to bad teams could be more of a rebuild while here they’d get at least one season behind Prescott taking over more of a playoff caliber team which I’d argue sets them more up for success.

I thought it was an interesting article while not allowed to directly post or link here.

If MP is there for the taking I would take the chance, it’s an option that should always be exercised if it’s available. If Jerry and co. are trying looking to get better it’s a no brainer

Wow anything to improve the quality of the QB position is bad according to you, just have to laugh

 

[Diehardblues]

Then why? Thats my point

Joneses are idiots

Just the fact he was available . 1st round potential was worth spending a 4th round pick. More of insurance than anything else.

I certainly don’t disagree on their idiocy.

 

[KingCorcoran]

Surely you jest. He’s not considered a top prospect.

Ewers at Texas is one of the top expected to come out .

I don’t think Shedeur Sanders is a top prospect. I don’t think Trey Lance is, either. I don’t own the Dallas Cowboys.

Going from an All Pro to a BUST is improving the QB position??? Weird.

All pro at choking come crunch time so let’s stay with a proven 2nd team all pro based on beating up the dreg teams and choking against the best teams, that’s a brilliant plan, lmao

Loved Penix until that last game he played against Michigan. All season long he looked his accuracy was fantastic, as were his reads. But against Michigan, his decisions looked bad and his throws were off target. I expected him to play much better than he did and it left me with doubts about him in the NFL, at least to start his career. NFL scouts know a lot more than me but we need a QB who will be better than Dak, not another Dak.

Penix is one of those QBs we see almost every year that starts climbing up draft boards in March and April. I don’t know if it’s him but one of these QBs teams are looking at in the first round was a projected 3rd or 4th round pick not that long ago. I’m terrified of these QBs that start rising up draft boards prior to the draft. Can’t think of any of them that panned out. It’s the ones that drop for whatever reason like Marino and Rodgers that usually turn out. I can think of a bunch of college QBs that skyrocked up draft boards leading up to the draft like Akili Smith who went bust. Teams continue to over draft QBs which is one reason so many go bust.

if I’m Miami I’m drafting Penix. They are already set up for a southpaw. I wouldn’t pay Tua.

If BO is there you take him without any hesitation!!!!

 

[charron]

Well someone has to still be there good enough for another team to want to trade up. Also it doesn't seem like many teams like dealing with the Joneses

 

[JoeKing]

Only Dak haters think that way. We have Dak and Trey so we have zero need currently at QB. I'm not opposed to trading back a few spots to get an extra 2nd or 3rd pick, but not for a position where we have no need.

everyone has first round potential, until they are exposed. three years in and he had done nothing, when he was gifted the position. I know he got injured, but when he played he showed he is more a Ben Denucci than anything else. 4th was too much. and my point was if cowboys draft a QB in the first round this year, then it was stupid to make a trade for Lance. it shows the incompetence of the Joneses.

we do it and it's the end for #4 very soon, rush can rush out of here too

sounds familiar

 

[CT Dal Fan]

I don't think so. They need to see what they have in Trey Lance first; if indeed the grand plan is moving on from Dak.

Like I just said in another thread, the Cowboys are doing this all wrong. By keeping Dak in 2024 they are basically setting themselves up to draft in the 20's again next April. Which means no shot at a top QB if indeed Dak leaves in free agency next year.

And if they plan to keep Dak, they should have gotten it done by now, freed all they cap space they need to free, and also get Lamb's deal done by now too.

 

[IAmLegend]

Penix is 24 with 2 ACL tears and a shoulder surgery already... hard pass. He also look really bad against Michigan. He's not the answer for Dallas. But neither is Trey Lance.

 

[lopey]

Should be drafting best player available.

 

[Diehardblues]

Yea, the entire premise of drafting a QB early would mean the Cowboys are either ready to move on or not hopeful a deal can be done with Prescott.

And once that decision is made why wait until next year to draft a QB if there’s one available this year.

I’m not saying I agree with our idiots. I’m just providing what their reasoning probably was.

I agree we have no need unless we’re done with Prescott which I don’t believe is the case.

And why this circumstance was solely based on the premise we were done and these QB’s might provide better opportunities than our others and or what would be available at our slot in draft next year.
