Draft Film Review: Cowboys QB Dak Prescott

For the majority of this Draft Film Review series, I have followed the order which the Cowboys drafted. Meaning, I reviewed the players drafted in the first four rounds before I reviewed those taken in the sixth. In the case of fourth round selection and former Mississippi State Bulldogs Quarterback Dak Prescott, however, I decided to wait until the end. I did this for a few different reasons. First of all, I find him to be possibly the most intriguing of all the Cowboys rookies.

Dak Prescott & The Rarity of QB Investment in Dallas

Last Saturday the Cowboys spent a fourth-round pick on quarterback Dak Prescott from Mississippi State. You already knew that it was uncommon for Dallas to invest draft picks in the quarterback position, having only done it once (Stephen McGee, 2009) since Tony Romo became our starter in 2006. But do you realize just how far back that tradition goes, and just how rare it’s been for Dallas to draft a passer? In 1989, the Dallas Cowboys made Troy Aikman the first overall pick in the draft. It was the first pick of Jerry Jones’ ownership of the Cowboys.

Dallas Cowboys: Backup Quarterback Still A Concern?

The 2015 season for the Dallas Cowboys was a complete disaster and the majority of the blame can be placed squarely on the backup quarterback situation. Once Tony Romo went down not once, but twice with a broken clavicle, we pretty much knew that the season was on the line. Who was actually comfortable knowing that Brandon Weeden was a backup behind Romo heading into the 2015 season? I know I wasn’t. I thought it was an absolute mistake by the organization.

[VIDEO] Mississippi State Reflects On Cowboys QB Dak Prescott

During my musings for Inside The Star I enjoy to have something on Netflix in the background. Typically it’s something that I’ve seen before so that it’s not too distracting. Lately I’ve been re-watching the greatest show in Texas history… Friday Night Lights. It’s a Texas Forever disposition that FNL preaches, and such is the case for the Dallas Cowboys who bring glory and pride to the Lone Star State.

Cowboys Should be Happy to “Settle” for Dak Prescott

The 2016 Dallas Cowboys draft class is here, and it covers just about everything we expected it to. After their premier fourth overall pick was used on running back Ezekiel Elliott, a move that will help Dallas dominate time of possession and keep the defense off the field, the bulk of the team’s remaining picks were spent on stacking that very defensive unit. Jaylon Smith and Maliek Collins highlighted the 2nd and 3rd rounds, and three of the four picks the Cowboys had in the fourth round also went towards the defense. Defensive end help was provided by Oklahoma’s Charles Tapper, while Anthony Brown and Kavon Frazier helped secure the secondary. However, there is one fourth round pick that went towards the offense, and that is what I am here to talk about.

2016 Dallas Cowboys Draft: Gut Reaction

I like to think that during the deliberations in the Dallas Cowboys War Room throughout the 2016 NFL Draft that when a tough decision was on the table someone said, “Go with your gut.” The human belly is capable of making some great decisions when under pressure. I mean, how often do you look back at a decision in retrospect and say to yourself, “I should have gone with my gut.”? My gut is nice and full from this year’s Draft and it has fully digested everything that went on regarding the nine newest members of America’s Team.

The Dallas Cowboys Select Dak Prescott at #135

The Cowboys have indeed come away from the draft with a quarterback, selecting Dak Prescott from Mississippi State with a late fourth-round pick. Prescott has been linked to the Cowboys for a while now with several offseason workouts and meetings along with time spent together at the Senior Bowl. He will compete with veteran Kellen Moore for the backup spot. Dallas admitted to trying to move up in the late first round to get Paxton Lynch and reportedly tried again today to acquire Connor Cook. Clearly, Dallas wanted to come away from this draft with a new face behind Tony Romo.
