The Cowboys haven’t selected a quarterback in the NFL draft since Ben DiNucci in 2020. While it likely wouldn’t be with anything more than a Day 3 pick, Dallas is overdue for another drafted QB based on their recent history.
With Dak Prescott in 2016, Mike White in 2018, and then DiNucci, the Cowboys had been drafting a QB every other year. It was a marked difference from their previous philosophy, with only Quincy Carter (2001) and Stephen McGee (2009) comprising the team's drafted passers from 1992-2015.
After striking undrafted gold with Tony Romo, Dallas seemed content to keep searching the rough for diamonds and employing veteran free agents as their backups.
