It appears that the Dallas Cowboys drafting team is at it again, now stating that they are interested in Ohio State’s Quarterback, CJ Stroud.
Stroud is a quarterback who has been talked about quite a bit in recent drafting news. With his much success at Ohio State under Head Coach Ryan Day, there is a good chance he has a lot of potential for NFL play.

What are the chances of Stroud being drafted by the Cowboys?
At the moment the Dallas Cowboys will have the 26th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. That kind of placement is not good if you are asking to draft a quarterback that’s highly requested.
Stroud will most likely be gone by the time our pick rolls around, however, there is always the opportunity to trade with another team to get a higher pick.
If the Cowboys are concerned about their quarterback position so much, then perhaps trading up for more picks is the correct option.
If the Cowboys were to trade for a better spot, would CJ Stroud be the best option?
While Quarterback Caleb Williams isn’t eligible for the 2023 NFL Draft, Max Duggan, Stetson Bennett, and Bryce Young are all other available quarterbacks who are up for grabs this year.
Let us also not forget that Owner Jerry Jones also stated a few weeks ago that Max Duggan stood out during last season and that he seemed interested in his career.

So many twists and turns have developed for the Cowboys’ upcoming draft schedule, and it hasn’t even started yet!
Out of all the quarterbacks, it’s tough to tell which one would have the brightest future and biggest impact on the Dallas Cowboys’ future.
Back to CJ Stroud though. Stroud always seemed to outperform in all his games as a Buckeye. Ohio State was #2 in “Points per game” last season with 44.2, just 0.3 under the #1 spot.
Stroud seems to be good at what he does, and with a better defense, the Buckeyes could have won the National Championship last year.
Come to think of it, it seems that the Cowboys always gather up players from Ohio State University. Their star Running Back, Ezekiel Elliott came for that college, not to mention three other players.
Is the Cowboys’ drafting team trying to confuse the league as to who they are drafting? I mean, I’ve never seen a team keep shouting out names of players that they are interested in so much. Usually, you’d want that to be more of a secret.
Perhaps the Cowboys are playing chess rather than checkers, and confusing other teams into thinking strange thoughts? I am not sure, but it’s rather strange how they keep switching on their upcoming draft picks.
More importantly, CJ Stroud is a talented player who would contribute loads to the team.
If the Cowboys decide to draft him, then there’s a good chance the team will look better overall, with or without him as the starter.
I am very interested to see if the Cowboys’ staff decides to acquire a quarterback for their first pick, or another position. No matter what, I am sure the Cowboys’ drafting team will make the right choice in April.
Hello Tony! Man, I think Stroud will be long gone before pick number 26. I’d much rather we take Robinson or Gibbs if they’re still available at 26. Max Duggan will probably be a better and more realistic option at quarterback later in maybe the 4th or 5th rounds. Probably stuck with Dak until June 2024 and then can move on if he hasn’t taken the team to the Super Bowl. Bryce Young seems a bit fragile right now for the NFL. I really like Caleb Williams, but he’s going to be drafted early when he becomes eligible. Probably is the first quarterback off the board. Hopefully we’re not so bad that we’re drafting in the top 5 next year. That said, I think Prescott’s days are numbered in Dallas. Enormous contracts seem to breed complacency. Elliott for example! Big contract, small return. Dak’s situation seems eerily similar! He played better as a rookie than he has as a veteran. Strange indeed.I think the Cowboys are going to drop Dak like a bad habit as soon as possible. I love Jack Campbell, Linebacker from the Iowa Hawkeyes. If we can get him, later for Vander Esch.
Actually…if Ohio State had a better placekicker they’d have won the National Championship!
Mixed messages being sent out from somewhere. Didn’t S Jones say something about extending QB1 (IMO, huge mistake!) a couple weeks ago? Please DON’T “pay the man” again.
I am definitely NOT opposed to drafting a QB early. They would have to move up to get one of the bigger names, unless they settle for a second-tier guy. It’s been overdue, but that ill-advised CONTRACT has put this team on hold from moving into the more significant games. It should be clear to most knowledgably fans that the current QB1, for whatever reason, does not have the level of play capability to bring this team to a Super Bowl. As these better, younger QBs enter the NFL, he keeps slipping down the totem pole.
.
Again, time to move forward already, and start the process of getting this team to its full potential. They have a pretty good defense, O-line, run game, and even special teams (outside of possibly the kicker, which they can augment if necessary, during the offseason). The most important missing piece should be obvious after a seven year body of work.
Pretty sure Stephen only indicated an interest in doing so, and in a conversation about cap space at that, according to the quotes I read at the time. Can’t imagine their interest in Stroud is much more than speculation based on some positive remarks about the player. Rush’s value went up this season, probably enough to price DAL out of re-signing him, so they’ll need another backup. Stroud might be placed well for that.
It’s absolutely hilarious to me just how delusional Cowboys fans are…..not to mention, they’re also extremely uninformed, unwitting, and entirely lacking of any knowledge regarding football outside of Dallas. Stroud IS Dak…..both can run high powered offenses when allowed to sit inside the pocket comfortably and throw the ball downfield; both are trash when faced with ANY above average pass rush or adversity; both are equally and significantly unable to hurt teams with their legs; and both will ultimately be disappointments to whichever franchises fork over truck loads of cash for their services. Stroud does have exceptional accuracy, however. I will give him that. But only when given adequate time to find an open receiver. Actually, I think Stroud would be the perfect fit for the Cowboys. And I hope beyond measure that they throw everything but the kitchen sink at another franchise in order to move into position to draft him. Y’all (you all see what I did there? ) deserve him.
That is without exaggeration the most stupid thing I have ever read. If writing and football are your 2 passions then you need to find some other passions because your writing sucks and your understanding of football/NFL is even worse
It is mind boggling that the Cowboys would drop names of ANY player they have on their board at this, or any, point. They should sit back, do their due diligence on players and their backgrounds and then, above all, shut the eff up! Is there really any need to play checkers or chess with the rest of the NFL about who you may or may not have interest in? This is Amari Cooper all over again. JJ grabbing random reporters in the halls of the Star giving updates on the health status of his QB1 or a host of other issues. SJ basically emulates what his dad does, too, rather it be an interview of any kind. They talked down about Cooper so much all they got was a 5th rounder for arguably a 1st round talent. For the love of God, just SHUT UP about almost everything. Oh, and how about STOPPING THE RUN this year.
