And honestly like I said in a prior post , Im just as happy taking a OT and rolling with Fitz. For this year. But than what? Have to make that decision again next year without Captain Stopgap? Hope a starter falls in our laps in free agency? I mean at what point do you “pay” for the guy. To me now is a great time since we got Fitz and it is still a “building “ year. We have the D. We have a good young corp of weapons. We have picks next year minus what we would give up for Fields or Lance now. We have free agency again to plug holes for 2022. The time is now to get the quarterback of the future. If you want to field a contender in 2022 I mean A real contender than get the quarterback now. Ive almost convinced myself of trading up for him while writing this. Lol.

All could be true ...

But what if your 3rd round pick becomes your franchise QB?

Russell Wilson started 33 games in college (and split another 6 in a QB rotation at NC State) before becoming a 3rd round pick by Seattle, who had just signed Matt Flynn to a free agency deal. Wilson wasn't supposed to start from the beginning.

Dak Prescott started 46 games in college before being chosen in the 4th round by the Cowaboysh (as Jerry Jones says). He was supposed to back up Tony Romo, but was the third QB before the back up broke his arm. Romo goes down with an injury, and Dak takes over.

Which is why I think a 3rd round pick for Kellen Mond makes sense -- especially because we have two 3rd round picks. If he isn't the next Russell Wilson or Dak Prescott, what have you lost? Not much .... But ...

What if he is the next Wilson or Prescott?

He may not be ... odds are against it ... but the parallels are striking. Especially compared to Prescott, whose accuracy at Miss State was up and down ... Mond's has gotten better each year.
