If we are going to wait for a generational talent, then we'll never draft a QB.
Exactly, we can't just sit around waiting for the next Luck. Guys like Matt Ryan and Bortles weren't considered sure things but both went top 3 and Ryan has become a very solid QB while Bortles seems to be on his way, would anybody complain if we ended up with a guy of that caliber after Romo with no lag time in between?
I think not.
Once again, if there were elite, no-brainer prospects available in the top 5 I'd want to go that route, but what are the alternatives?
A RT in Tunsil when we've already spent 3 1st's and have another 1st round talent in Collins?
A DB in Ramsey with an apparent lack of ball skills?
Hargreaves, who I'd prefer over Ramsey but he's still a CB who if you get lucky is a Joe Haden caliber player?
Is a chance at a Joe Haden better than rolling the dice on a QB who could be your guy for 10+ years after being groomed behind Romo?
What it boils down to is there aren't any no-brainer prospects at the top of this draft and the relative impact of hitting on a QB far outweighs just about any other position, Goff and Lynch have their warts but they both have a bunch of traits that translate to the NFL and we are in a rare position to actually let them sit and learn for 2 years.
Everybody here loves to bitch about how we aren't ever going to do shit to replace Romo until he's basically on his death-bed, Peyton style, yet when an opportunity like this comes along everybody wants to take some meh (for the top 5) position prospects?
If the top 10 is so weak that's even more reason to take a chance on a QB, not less.
