We actually really liked Dak Prescott, Gus loved him at the SR. Bowl, but you have to remember Bortles was coming off a good season where you think he is gonna get better and better, Dak went in the 4th which was low even for him, I think if he was there in the 5th we would have had to trade up to get him since we didnt have a pick but prob would have pulled the trigger, remember we drafted Allen in the 6th.

You bring up another long-term problem that we've had, one that predates DC.  We simply don't draft QBs often enough, and not as often as most teams.  The position is such a devilish combination of important and rare that we should never go through more than 2-3 seasons without drafting a QB in one round or another, I don't care how good a season the incumbent QB just had.
