Trey Lance

Organizations drafting QBs this year should take note of the mistakes made with Fields, Mac Jones, Trey Lance and Zach Wilson.

When Jerry Jones says the Cowboys are "all in," what does he mean? The latest on Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and Tyron Smith.

What will the Cowboys do to show they are all in? What will they do with their first-round pick in the draft?

Teams have made 14 first-round trades since 2016 in order to select a quarterback. Some of have been big hits. Far more have been misses.

If Peters fails on his first big swings, one hopes his recent experience shows that mistakes are acceptable, perhaps inevitable, in the job.

The Raiders should have fired Josh McDaniels long before they did, and other teams may be ruing some quarterback decisions at midseason.

Among the questions this week: What's the midseason plan at cornerback and what kind of information can Trey Lance give the Cowboys?

Once billed as a generational collection of quarterbacks, the 2021 NFL Draft class has still largely failed to meet expectations.

Who will be second to Micah Parsons in sacks? Can Dak Prescott lead the NFC in TD passes? Who will finish in the top three in TD runs?

Lance hit the ground running when he arrived in Dallas. "Just trying to be a sponge and learn and enjoy every day," he said.

There were plenty of missing elements when it came to evaluating Lance, including that he never ran a 40-yard dash prior to the draft.

Will the Cowboys stay put with only five receivers? How does their safety depth affect their linebacker total?

Trading Lance opens up important cap space in 2024, which will be needed when the 49ers eventually sign Bosa to a huge extension.

Jones said the Lance trade was not done to create leverage in negotiations with Prescott. "It didn't even cross my mind, period," he said.

It felt like Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch did public penance on Friday night on their way to finding real closure for a terrible trade.

For all of the upside that can come from this trade for Trey Lance, it’s worth the risk for the Cowboys.

"It's always good to be wanted. And when somebody gives up something to get him, I think that says a lot about the situation."

Lance is headed to Dallas and Brandon Allen is the No. 3 quarterback. But the 49ers suddenly might need a new kicker.
