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.
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.
Perhaps a foreshadowing of the future of Dak Prescott. Maybe it’s simply a best-player-available thing. Or maybe it’s just an interesting way to view how next year’s prospects look 364-ish days away from the next draft.
