If the Cowboys draft a quarterback this year, it would be for the future. But just how early in the draft are they willing to invest on another passer?

Rush went 4-1 as a starter last season in the five games without Dak Prescott and has a 84.9 career QB rating.

Cooper Rush got the start, Will Grier was held out with an injury and Ben DiNucci had the best stats. So what does the backup QB job look like now?
