Cowboys finally get a quarterback, drafting Dak Prescott (Shutdown Corner)

The Dallas Cowboys wanted a quarterback in this year's draft, and after getting beat out for the first two they had targeted, they finally grabbed one at the end of the fourth round, taking Mississippi State's Dak Prescott at No. 135.

While other teams who have a starter in place regularly draft quarterbacks - the New England Patriots drafted Jacoby Brissett on Friday night, two years after taking Jimmy Garroppolo in the second round, and earlier Saturday the Oakland Raiders drafted Connor Cook - Prescott is, remarkably, the first quarterback the Cowboys have drafted since 2009.
