Dak Prescott started 46 games in college before being chosen in the 4th round by the Cowaboysh (as Jerry Jones says). He was supposed to back up Tony Romo, but was the third QB before the back up broke his arm. Romo goes down with an injury, and Dak takes over.
Which is why I think a 3rd round pick for Kellen Mond makes sense -- especially because we have two 3rd round picks. If he isn't the next Russell Wilson or Dak Prescott, what have you lost? Not much .... But ...
What if he is the next Wilson or Prescott?
He may not be ... odds are against it ... but the parallels are striking. Especially compared to Prescott, whose accuracy at Miss State was up and down ... Mond's has gotten better each year.

I am in no way saying he will not be and YES in a perfect world we sit tight and get an immediate impact player at 19, grab a guy like Mond for nothing other than the pick we took him with, and a year from now the dude becomes our guy. Sign me up. We get our quarterback and keep all our picks. Ill do the happy dance when that becomes apparent.
