It was widely reported that Dallas was outmaneuvered for Paxton Lynch and Connor Cook before settling for Dak.

Moved up for Paxton, but Denver moved up further. Waited for Connor at their appointed slot in the 4th, and Oakland jumped the line on them at the last minute.

Dak was the 3rd QB for the longest time. That was the issue people had with the Kellen Moore injury-- nobody was behind him if Romo went down like he usually does

Dallas would be in the cellar but for a young QB with a bright future.

Who needs one of those?

If Romo was there they wouldn't be in the cellar. Elliot is very good. Their oline is elite. How can you possibly say they would be in the cellar without him? Or are you saying if they didn't have him or Romo? Well yeah, without any of their top 3 QBs, they would be in trouble. Shocking.

...and the counterargument is sitting in San Francisco.

Everyone was blowing Kaep as the new hotness. Now, he's just a hot mess.

Dak may be helping the Cowboys to winning season, and the line and RB are taking a lot of pressure off things before you even add to the fact he's got good weapons to throw to.

Sorry, but look at their schedule :

Wins against the Skins, 49ers, Bears, Browns, Eagles, Bengals, Packers, Vikings isn't impressive. Credit to them for the Steelers on the road and at home against the Ravens.
They've got the 6th easiest schedule in the NFL.

1.Atlanta Falcons
2.Philadelphia Eagles
3.Cleveland Browns
4.Cincinnati Bengals
5.Washington Redskins
6.Carolina Panthers
7.Jacksonville Jaguars
8.San Francisco 49ers
9.Tampa Bay Buccaneers
10.New York Jets
11.San Diego Chargers
12.Kansas City Chiefs
13.Los Angeles Rams
14.Buffalo Bills
15.Houston Texans
16.Pittsburgh Steelers
17.Oakland Raiders
18.Denver Broncos
19.New Orleans Saints
20.Minnesota Vikings
21.Green Bay Packers
22.Seattle Seahawks
23.Chicago Bears
24.New York Giants
25.Miami Dolphins
26.Indianapolis Colts
27.Dallas Cowboys
28.Arizona Cardinals
29.Detroit Lions
30.Tennessee Titans
31.New England Patriots
32.Baltimore Ravens

Btw, how the hell does NE get the 2nd easiest schedule?

If one is sitting there in the fourth, it's not a horrible idea to take him. It's not like we're suggesting that a team take Geno Smith in the first.

oh really, like what; playing air guitar for ELO?

Shit division playing another couple shit divisions

You can bet the OL draftees will be 6 out of top 10 picked next year.

That's a good point and I hope you're proven right. Weak schedule or not they look damn near unstoppable on offense.
