The Dallas Cowboys have secured the No. 4 selection in the 2016 NFL Draft, and though the team has many holes to fill, they may be poised to draft a quarterback for the first time in seven seasons.

Before the 2015 NFL season the Dallas Cowboys had high hopes, even Super Bowl hopes. If they could only find an efficient running back then their offensive line, Tony Romo, Dez Bryant, and an invigorated defense should carry the team deep into the playoffs. Now, the regular season is over, and Dallas has just finished their worst season since 1989 with a 4-12 record.

It’s easy to put the bad season solely on the shoulders of injuries, with Pro-Bowl quarterback Tony Romo missing most of the season and All-Pro receiver Dez Bryant struggling through a broken foot in the nine games he played, but that may not tell the whole story. The Cowboys gave up 30+ points five times this season, and Dez Bryant’s injury made it clear they lack a second top receiver that could step into his role.

They managed to generate a turnover on defense in only one game through their first seven games, and finished dead last in the league in turnovers. They also were able to sack the quarterback only 31 times, good for 25th in the league.

The most evident deficiency of all may be at quarterback. It’s tough to argue that Tony Romo isn’t a good starting quarterback, but he’s 35, and has a long history of injuries, playing a full 16-game schedule only twice in the last six years. It’s about time for the Cowboys to start thinking of a backup plan for Romo, because even if he can keep playing into his late 30s, its hard to trust him to stay healthy.

Clearly, there are a lot of holes that need to be filled, but Dallas also has the type of team that can legitimately contend for a championship if they can figure out these issues. The one good thing to come from their 4-12 record, is the fact that they have been gifted with the No. 4 overall draft pick for the 2016 NFL Draft.

They’ll have a lot of good options, and there’s always a chance of them trading back a bit and earning some more draft capital, but here are a few top possibilities for that first draft choice.
