Tony Romo's heir? 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.
