Cowboys land Mississippi State QB Dak Prescott

The Dallas Cowboys have finally picked a quarterback.

The team on Saturday used their fourth-round pick -- at No. 135 overall -- to pick Dak Prescott out of Mississippi State.

"He's a solid prospect to develop as a starting quarterback," NFL Media's Mike Mayock said. "... You want to talk about a young man that's tough, has arm strength. Does he have to learn how to play the position and continue to develop? Absolutely. But I think learning behind Tony Romo, getting an opportunity with no pressure to come in and get reps behind him, he's got the athletic ability, he's got the arm talent.
