I would expect us to find someone in the later rounds to be the back-up so that when DA leaves, we'll have an immediate plug in and play guy.

I'm thinking Dak Prescott, but if they're considering Braxton Miller a "QB" still... Well, I could easily see us taking Braxton in a heartbeat.

Well, we did bring in Dak Prescott and Brandon Allen for visits... 

After the first round, you are typically drafting for depth. You aren't getting immediate starters. In the later rounds,I wouldn't be terribly upset if we brought in a QB to backup Cam whenever DA walks. Other than Prescott (who fits Cam's style), a probable fourth rounder, I don't like the rest of the QB draft class. This seems to be the worst QB class in a decade.

Jacoby Brisset from NC State impressed no one at the college level, and somehow he is in the conversation as one of the top QBs in this draft?

except you can't stash a good backup qb on the practice squad so they are bringing in somebody to push Anderson or Webb or both.

(If) Gman is looking to trade up with Titans.  Wouldn't they be a lot more interested in talking to the Panthers if they thought the Panthers were targeting a backup qb?

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Great post! Now that I think on it, I think D line might be our biggest need. We are one player away from having a potential disastrous defensive line. Brown and Wharton struggled last year and Wharton has really only been a rotational player that specializes in one thing. Can we count on him being a full time starter? Jackson is unproven. Do you want a starting defensive line of Wharton, Brown and Jackson? I don’t want to risk it.   I honestly don’t think linebacker is that big of a need. If Rozeboom ends up coming back then why get a LB?   games are won in the trenches and I would honestly prefer us drafting an offensive or defensive linemen over any other position in the first. The prospect you mentioned seems like a good prospect who has had some good production as well. Only problem is defensive line is a position that can take time for a player to develop. Will whoever we draft be ready this season ?

      Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
