Yes, we just had a draft. Yes, we are still talking about the draft. Also yes, we’re going to take a moment to point out something about next year’s draft. Because, according to CBS Sports’ Ryan Wilson, that’s the draft the Cowboys are going to grab their next franchise quarterback.
Using odds from Caesar’s Sportsbook, Wilson determined the draft order as the reverse of 1-32 of current favorites to win the Super Bowl. In that, the Cowboys are selecting 25th overall, and are using that pick on Alabama QB Jalen Milroe.
“The son of two college track athletes, Nathaniel Peat uses his speed bloodline to break big plays in the open field and in the return game,” writes Harris. “After three seasons at Stanford, Peat spent the last two years at Missouri where he rushed for 755 yards and five touchdowns. His Pro Day performance saw him post a 4.37 40-yard dash, 41-inch vertical and a 10-foot, 8-inch broad jump
Not that the expectation of accuracy should be incredibly tight on a mock draft anyway (though Caleb Williams being No. 1 overall wasn’t exactly a stretch last year, it seems reasonable that no one had Michael Penix going No. 8 to Atlanta), but it seems more likely Milroe, considering his push last season as well as the athetic make-up Wilson mentioned, will be gone long before No. 25.
