Ummm.

(Steve Walsh) The Dallas Cowboys surprised observers by selecting Walsh with the second overall pick in the NFL Supplemental Draft,[2] even though they had already selected Troy Aikman number one overall in the 1989 NFL Draft and had to surrender by rule an equivalent pick in the 1990 NFL Draft, which would turn out to be the number one overall selection.

That was the 31 years ago.

I also did some brief research and found that, outside of Brady; and Brees at early second round, the top 20+ all time leading passers in all categories are all first round pics. At least from a brief, drunk analysis. Tarkenton and Moon are close.

Yup. I seriously doubt anyone drafting a QB beyond the first round is expecting anything more than a possible backup.

Just for a laugh... I vote LB Chuck Wagon as our 1st round pick.

What I wouldn’t give to see him do that to Matt Ryan on a blitz!

Charles Davis has us taking Terrance Marshall jr. but most sports peeps expect a CB to us which is fine with me

I would love to go CB in the first round, but I feel like Richard Sherman is our ace in the hole waiting to be our CB2. Which is fine... I wouldn’t want him as CB1 but opposite Lattimore would be fine.

That’s the very likely scenario. We’ll pick BPA in the first round which will probably be a WR or something.

CB2 by Committee...
