They're not likely to go into the season with 29 total passes between their second and third string qbs backing up a qb coming off a major injury and has missed a bunch of games in the last three seasons.


New cowboys fan I see.

I'm fine with the trade, but what are these assumably newly discovered amazing traits considering he was a 2024 6th round pick?  The trade is fine, but the backup QB position is way overthought by fans.  This guy or a 5th round QB pick in this draft has a 95% chance of sucking.  Experience even a little > rookie so yeah good move.  But it doesn't make them a % point better of a team.  Cooper Rush was considered one of the best backups in the league and it meant jack shit for this team.

You do realize that last years QB class was way more highly rated than this one?  Milton would most likely be a Top 5 QB this class if you're reading the tea leaves.

He has amazing traits, and massive canon of an arm, and absolutely no touch. That's what they're hoping to prove.

Once again, it's a like one of the last 5th round picks, and you're upset over it.

 

Also agree it's stupid to go into the season, with a QB coming off injury, and has been hurt 2 of the last 2 years, with a very inexperienced guy behind him...not if you're seriously trying to compete.

Milton wasn't even active until week 18. He wasn't the backup in New England, wasn't getting backup practice reps. He got showcased in the last game that was meaningless.

It is absurd to think he's ready to be any NFL team's primary backup at this stage. He won't be, unless the Cowboys are just even more idiotic than even the haters believe they are. He is the new long term prospect so they won't have to spend another draft pick on a qb in this draft.

They still need a backup, whether they settle on Grier, who at least knows the offense and has been around long enough to have some experience. I believe they still sign a cheap backup at some point before or after the draft, like Drew Lock or maybe get Tannehill out of retirement if he's cheap enough.

About Milton, while I'm as circumspect as anyone about his ability to master the nuances of the game, especially mentally, to be a starter or maybe even high end backup in the league, the Cowboys didn't overpay.  Apparently some other teams were in the mix and interested and the Pats got a slightly better offer (I don't know about that)...

The major issues continue to be problematic.  First, the team has zero depth, at almost any position save maybe OG.  And as usual, Dallas has done almost nothing in UFA.  They basically signed a solid LB and then a bunch of camp bodies.  So they desperately need a talent infusion and the front office has turned their 4th and 5th rounder into Mingo, working himself out of the league and Milton, champion of the underwear Olympics but still a ton to learn.  Additionally, the front office continues to leak like a polish submarine.  The rumor had swirling around for a week..... they just don't know how to do anything without tipping off the press. At least Milton is known as a hard worker and very good teammate.  

Who's everyone wanting at 12?  If you don't know the player, what position?

That's a great response

That is.  btw those that don’t remember, Mulugheta went to Texas and made his name in the industry as Earl Thomas’ agent.

As much as I am not crazy about drafting RBs in the first round, I wouldn't be sad if Jeanty lasted to 12 and the Cowboys took him. He seems like the closest thing to a safe pick that settles that crucial position for the next five years. Checks all the boxes. But he'll probably be gone. 

I'm not crazy about the WRs that will be available, and I'm not sure they should burn a first rounder. Second round would probably offer the best value, maybe third. Golden is flashy but I don't think he's the kind of WR that would be the best match to pair up with Ceedee. McMillan would be a better fit, but I'm a bit skeptical about his value at 12. But I wouldn't hate it that much. I think there is likely good value at 2 and 3 wiithut a ton of dropoff.

I would love to see a permanent DE replacement there, but I'm not really seeing the draft stack up for that particular guy at 12.

I don't like guards at 1, either, or a "versatile" shorter armed guy they say can play tackle or guard, which usually means he is an NFL starting guard or a marginal tackle. It just piles up too much onto the cap when you can get good guards later in the draft. Get a true guard in the 3rd round. At 12 you gotta get true left tackle, not a development guy like Guyton, that can fix that spot would be pretty awesome, but I see that as unlikely from the Cowboys perspective. There isn't an interior DL that I love at 12, and they tend to go later if they aren't just a total no-brainer stud player. 

I don't want to see a big reach for position of need over a better prospect. 

I don't think they need to panic and take a corner too early, it's just going to add to the drama in the coming years. And I don't want to see a TE in the first three rounds.

I'd be OK with a small trade down, inside of 16-ish depending on how things are falling, to get another 4th rounder if none of the "guys" are there at 12. Another 4 or better could be extremely useful to fill some more of those needs, since they have pissed away so much mid draft capital. I like Mykel Williams a bit later than the Cowboys are picking if they went that route.

With no 4 it's going to be hard to get solid picks at all the immediate needs that have a chance to start or rotate, solid guards, safeties, linebackers that might have been available there, or even a good RB with early starting potential. 

Other than Jeanty, there's not a particular player prospect that has me really drooling that might possibly be there.

Trey Lance to chargers.  This dude. With literally zero talent continues to fleece everyone 

if he cared about his career he’d go to the UFL and start for a couple seasons.

Is this a joke? Dude has earned more than $30 million and just signed with the Chargers for $6.5 million. Caring about one’s career is maximizing your value and that goes for any of us. Why would he go earn $55k in the UFL so he can start?

lulz.  he won’t get anywhere near 6.5

if he played in the UFL for a couple years and actually became capable of starting in the NFL he could suck and still get 20/year.
