Cowboys Rumors: Cowboys unwilling to use draft picks on quarterbacks?

In tonight's edition of Cowboys rumors, it seems like the Dallas Cowboys and owner Jerry Jones may have an aversion to using draft picks in order to find an heir apparent to starting quarterback Tony Romo.

Or so think Rainer Sabin of The Dallas Morning News: "Cultivating young players at that position hasn’t been a priority, which is difficult to reconcile with the Cowboys’ efforts to build the team around their quarterbacks."

“We always want to make sure we have a guy we really like as a starter, a guy we feel very confident as a backup and hopefully a guy we’re developing as a third,” Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett says in the article.

Sabin posits that the two draft picks (or busts) that the Cowboys have used on quarterbacks in the past fourteen years, Quincy Carter and Stephen McGee, may have solidified the Dallas Cowboys' mindset of signing, rather than drafting quarterbacks.

We'll see if the 2014 NFL Draft will bring about a different mindset from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and the rest of the executive staff.
