FRISCO, Texas – With this gold rush-like dash for first-round quarterbacks in next week s NFL Draft taking place, does that not remind you how fortunate the Cowboys have been finding starting-quality, franchise-type quarterbacks for the past 18 seasons?
Or for their entire history?
Talk about slot-machine lucky.
Think about it. There is a chance five teams will spend a first-round pick, maybe even all five in the top-10 of this draft, on a quarterback. Teams have been trading the ranch to position themselves within the top 10 for a quarterback this year.
Or they have traded nearly their first born to acquire a proven veteran quarterback, and in doing so in a few instances, incurred salary-cap crippling amounts of dead money to do so.
