Breaking: Cowboys draft quarterback Dak Prescott

The Cowboys might have found their future replacement for Tony Romo.

The Cowboys met with him at least four times in three months, including a March 21 trip to Starkville, Miss., where quarterbacks coach Wade Wilson put Prescott through a private workout.

Beefing up the options behind Romo, who twice fractured his left collarbone last season, remains a priority for the Cowboys. Dallas went 1-11 without Romo last season.

Some tidbits from Bob Sturm's profile:

Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi State - 6-foot-2, 230 pounds - redshirt senior - No. 15

What I liked: He was a very confident player in his system at Mississippi State, where he would use multi-layered reads to find the open man for many productive years.
