“You know, I think one of our goals is to get a young quarterback in the draft,” Jones told The Dallas Morning News at the NFL Scouting Combine. “I don’t know where that’s going to be.

“That’s why we gave a [fourth-round pick] for Trey. It seems like all the quarterbacks, even guys we have in the fourth round, go in the first. They always go so much higher than what you think.”

Jones said they “think the world” of Lance, but that he will probably be looking for something different now that he’s a free agent.

Jones is also worried Rush could be too expensive to re-sign relative to what the Cowboys want to spend for a backup quarterback. That means one is likely coming in the draft.

Jaxson Dart out of Ole Miss led the SEC with 4,279 passing yards last season and led the FBS with 10.8 yards per attempt, Ohio State’s Will Howard is fresh off a College Football Playoff National Championship in which he was named Offensive MVP and there’s a Texas native in Quinn Ewers, who was a second-team All-SEC player last year.

The Cowboys clearly want a young arm they can mold behind Prescott, but in what round they will find that arm remains to be seen.

Dallas has three picks in the top 100, but did trade away its fourth-rounder for wide receiver Jonathan Mingo at the trade deadline.
