qb of the future

[Stoney]

between rhett bhomar or graham harrell who would you take?

[CrankThatCrabtree]

as a student of the great Texas Tech University......... I'd take Bomar

[Stoney]

on dmn website they have those two and stephen mcgee as possible picks in mid to late rounds. harrell seems like he has his head on straight. bomar had the problems at ou. i'd take harrell.

[Loftin74]

Out of the two................I wouldn't take either.

 

I'd take Billy Malone.

[easttexan]

I'd take Billy Malone.

 

 

I will second that.

[Switchblade]

I'd take Harrell. Bomar doesnt seem to have his head screwed on right. And Harrell is a very smart player.

[badblackcat]

 

 

I'd take Jason Boltus in the 7th, maybe even after the draft.

[ThaDeisel]

I'D probably take Bomar on physical skills, Harrel on mentality and smarts!

[WestRusk85]

Neither of them.

[BGR]

Tom Brandstater or Rhett Bomar in the 5th or 6th round if they are still on the board. Either can possibly be developed into a starter. I like Bomar just a little more than Brandstater but they both have upside.

 

If they don't draft a QB, I wouldn't be surprised to see Harrel as an undrafted free agent and they could sign him as a future QB project.

 

Low risk, possible High reward with any of these guys.

 

Either way the Cowboys do it, they need to get a young QB and groom him as they did Romo, not wait until the end of Romo's career and say, "OH NO! We need a QB!" much like they did when Aikman had to retire.

 

Best case scenario you find your future QB or one good enough to trade for high draft picks or worst case you waste a low draft pick and some signing money.

[Immortal13]

I really wouldn't want either, but if I had to choose one it would be Bomar. Harrell just doesn't have the arm to play in the NFL.

[LinemanPride]

I would take Harrell, character means more to me than potiental.

[junglejim]

I will second that.

 

 

And a 3rd as well. Given opportunity, Billy Don will have a lot of folks saying "where the heck did he come from, and why haven't we heard of him?"

An intriguing option is Pat White. Now I was against a QB/WR experiment earlier but White with his athletism is a very intriguing prospect. By drafting him they can possibly fill two needs at once. Use him as a WR/QB and eventually mold him into whichever he shows the most promise at. On top of that they can carry him as the 3rd QB and a WR so one less roster spot is used up. I could deal with the Cowboys picking him up in the late 2nd or early third round.

If Pat White were drafted, he's got nowhere to go but the practice squad. Crayton would still be the emergency qb, and Stanback would still be the qb in the Wildcat packages. White can't play special teams, so he can't replace Hurd/Crayton/Stanback on the bottom of the roster.

 

Despite all this, I've seen quite a few mocks of Dallas taking him, sometimes has high as the 2nd round.

 

[BGR]

White can be used as a return man with his athletic ability, I don't know if he has ever played it but I assume Stanback never had either before he hit the NFL. If they draft White, I imagine he would be the wildcat QB or Felix Jones not Stanback. I could see the lowest ranked WR on the Dallas roster being cut to make room for him. It would probably Stanback unless he really shows vast improvement during this off-season and preseason.

[BGR]

Mock draft I just looked at had Dallas picking Patrick Chung, S in the second and Pat White, QB in the third. If that happens I would be really happy.

if it was the one on fox sports they had us taking harrell in the 7th, and a bunch of linemen and wr's between them.

If White has to adjust to being a receiver, the same way Crayton and Stanback had to, it's reasonable to assume that his learning curve would keep him from beating out Stanback, who has been showing improvement until getting injured.

 

Basically Stanback and White have the same skill set; I don't see why it would be imperative to double up on that. There's certainly going to be wideouts later in the draft with less of a learning curve...maybe somebody like Jarrett Dillard from Rice who can also return kicks.

I think that was it. They went with the throw a bunch of them in camp and see who sticks aproach I think. I just liked the first two picks.

The issue with Stanback has always been injuries. I don't think he has made it through half a season without getting hurt and that is with very limited playing time. IF they draft White then Stanback's days are probably numbered unless he shows vast improvement in his ability to stay healthy and WR skills.

[Stoney]

if white falls past the third rd, and we've taken a safety draft white. talent can find a place on the field. plus a qb like harrell,bomar, mcgee,etc dropseven further take one and stick him on practice squad.imo if we don't pick a young qb in the next couple of drafts we'll get another taste of the post aikman qb carousel when romo leaves.

[KirtFalcon]

I wouldn't waste time drafting a late round qb. If you are going to groom a young qb to replace Romo, you might as well wait and draft a higher rated qb with better skills and physical ability than these two ... maybe next year if Jones doesn't give the farm away again with his draft choices.

[BGR]

Taking a QB late isn't much of a risk and with 11 picks this year the Cowboys have plenty to use on picks or wheel and deal. Harrell could be the next Romo... massive college stats but will need a lot time to adjust to the NFL play. He has some great potential that will have to be groomed. Several of the lower rated QBs need the same thing as Harrell, time to be coached up to the NFL level.

 

For every Matt Ryan type of success there are a bunch of Joey Harrington type failures and the failures cost teams big time. If the new CBA puts a cap on rookie salaries then the risk will be much less to draft that "possible" franchise QB high in the 1st round.

 

I would try to cover my bases this year with a project QB late and look at a higher pick for QB after the new CBA is in place.

[stevosev7]

plus, not every super start QB is drafted in the early rounds...there are some very successful finds in the mid-later rounds...isn't that right Tom Brady?! if we get our needs taken care of first and there is someone with some good skills at QB, go ahead and take him...its not like jon kitna is worth a hoot anyway.
