James those are good points. Though I would question burning that coveted #10 pick on a QB when we desperately need help on the defensive side of the ball. I would be more open to hoping Trask (Florida) or Jones (Alabama) falls to them in the 2nd rd though I think that's unlikely.

I just think in this modern era of football ur QB has to be a dynamic player who can consistently make big plays for you. Nearly all the contenders have one of those. I think Dalton is a solid QB but is he talented enuf to get us far in the playoffs? If you have a game manager QB ur team around them (particularly defense/running game) has to be strong. Defense and running game for cowboys was atrocious this year . Granted OL issues somewhat affected that but it's a weakness nonetheless.

Part of me would like to see what we could do in a world without Dak and the other part is afraid of what that world would look like.
