Yeah, I watched one of those 105.3 interviews of him the other day. Very down-to-earth and likable guy.
Here it is:

Yeah I didn't really like the pick. Just wasn't a big fan at the time. But I'm hopeful based on the stuff I'm reading and hearing about him since joining the Cowboys. I honestly think we have a few good young LBers although extremely unproven at this point. It's like LVE and then guys with speed, athletic ability and talent who haven't really proven themselves at all yet.

You’re too easy, bro. Let him hit someone first, then you can explode.

No, this isn't really true.
Who spends decades? The Redskins? The Dolphins? Those teams tend to be more ineptly run than we are.
Most teams cycle in and out of QBs who are roughly as good as Prescott. Maybe a little worse. Maybe a little better.
And even if it's a little worse, again, at some point, the cap savings and assets you'd get back in trade outweigh the slight difference.
Let's not discount the very real possibility that you actually find someone better, too, and then move the needle off this merry go round of second round exits.
It's a myth that finding a top 10 QB takes decades. Yeah, maybe you aren't gonna get a Mahomes or Manning or Brady. But a Phillip Rivers or Tony Romo or someone of that caliber is very findable.

Who is cycling through top 10 NFL QBs frequently? You say most teams. Well most teams don't have a top 10 QB first of all. But I'm very curious who is getting a top 10 QB and just letting them go in order to replace them with another top 10 QB?

Hardly. There are about half of the teams in the NFL that haven't have a QB at Prescott's sustained level in a decade or more.

Most teams cycle through QBs who are "roughly" as good as Prescott, I said.
Prescott is fringe top 10. The difference between him and the midway point is smaller than the difference between him and the elite.
Most teams cycle through QBs who are between fringe top 10 and fringe bottom 10.
None of this is what I said.

This is absurdly untrue. Half in the last decade? No.
These are the ones I can think of in the last decade (and I'll restrict it to "decade," instead of the even more untrue "decades," assertion):
Jacksonville.
Tennessee.
Miami.
Maybe the Jets, but they have Rodgers now.
Washington MAYBE, but Cousins was probably similar level.
Chicago.
Carolina.
San Francisco.
8 at best.
