The Dallas Cowboys are looking for a new quarterback. After Cooper Rush left in free agency for the Baltimore Ravens, the team needs a backup for Dak Prescott-someone capable of competing with him and, potentially, becoming Dallas’ starter if Prescott’s inconsistencies continue or if he suffers injuries like last year.
The Cowboys likely won’t use their first-round pick on a quarterback, but on the second day of the draft, they could be in the market for one. Former Texas Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers is highly regarded by Jerry Jones and his staff.
Ewers could be drafted by the Cowboys in the second round
According to a report from Tommy Yarrish of DallasCowboys.com, the team might use its second-round pick to select Quinn Ewers. The Cowboys currently need a backup, but Ewers’ potential could give him a real opportunity with Jerry Jones’ team.
This quarterback class in the upcoming NFL Draft comes with many question marks. During his time with the Longhorns, Ewers showed flashes of elite play, but under high-pressure situations, his deep passing was inconsistent, and his decision-making was questionable.
Despite his struggles, Ewers has undeniable talent, which will surely earn him an opportunity in the NFL-perhaps with the Cowboys. If Dallas is considering selecting him, they should do so on the second day of the draft. Letting him slip past the second round could be a risky move for them.
Ewers’ numbers at Texas
In his final year with the Texas Longhorns, Ewers posted solid numbers: 31 touchdown passes, 3,472 passing yards, and 12 interceptions. These stats highlight his performance before seeking an opportunity in the NFL-one he is almost certain to get in the upcoming draft.
