Jerry Jones: 'We won't be using high Draft pick on a quarterback'

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones reveals that his side won't be using a high Draft pick on a quarterback this year.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has revealed that his side won't be using a high Draft pick on a quarterback in the off-season.

Starter Tony Romo has reportedly been ruled out for the year with a disc problem in his back that has required surgery, and that has forced the Cowboys to turn to backup Kyle Orton and to take 41-year-old Jon Kitna out of retirement.

"You'd like to every spring pick up a quarterback," Jones told 105.3 The Fan. "I think the real issue and maybe your question would be, would you seriously consider using a significant draft pick for a quarterback?

"That's early. That's way too early to do that with the way things are today with my expectation of Tony's career, which I think will be for several years to come. It's too early to be drafting a highly ranked or, if you will, costly quarterback."

Dallas need to beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday to advance to the post-season for the first time since the 2009 campaign.
