When the Cowboys acquired a quarterback taken third in the 2021 draft Friday night, it did not mean that the competition was on or that a new sheriff was in...
A quarterback failing to deliver after being picked near the top of the draft is the oldest story in the league. In between Peyton Manning and Joe Burrow being taken with the No. 1 overall pick in a draft, Tim Couch, David Carr, Sam Bradford and Baker Mayfield all went No. 1, too. We might even throw the injured and, shall we say, mercurial Kyler Murray into that discussion of iffy propositions, too.
Even though he was the No. 3 selection in 2021, it’s a surprise to realize Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has acquired players picked even higher seven times. I’m not talking about players the club selected first like Troy Aikman or second like Tony Dorsett and Randy White, but players chosen elsewhere. “We’d love to keep him until eventually it works out,” he said Friday night after the trade, “but that clock ran out here.”Jones said Saturday, “Quarterbacks are a precious commodity in the NFL. We should have in the wings a quarterback on the come.”
”In the NFL, being rich is being quarterback-rich,” Jones said back then, even if it made no real sense to take two rookies. New Orleans GM Jim Finks helped the Cowboys escape that fix, and Aikman did the rest.
