Tony Romo could have his hand in who the Dallas Cowboys select in the 2016 NFL Draft.

The quarterback of the 'Boys is already a big enough talking point for team owner/GM Jerry Jones to make this year's draft plans revolve around. Jones believes Romo has 4-5 years left in his career and obviously wants to get him a Super Bowl in that time frame.

With the No. 4 overall pick in this year's draft, the Cowboys have the surreal opportunity to strengthen their core group of players who are one year removed from a 12-4 season. With approximately two months before the Cowboys are on the clock in late April, Romo has his preference on who the team should take.

“I think you always want someone who can come in and help your football team quickly,” Romo said over the weekend, via Drew Davison of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “So, in that regard, we’re all excited about getting a player who can help us. At that spot you can get an impactful player, so that’s about the only good thing that comes out of the season…If there’s a franchise [quarterback], you always have to look into that…Good thing I don’t have to make those decisions, but I think we’ll get a good player there.”

The Cowboys have several options when addressing their draft needs.

They could turn to the quarterback position to prepare for life after Romo. Either NDSU's Carson Wentz or Cal's Jared Goff should be available for the Cowboys early in the first round. Both quarterbacks are considered top talents, but it's to be determined if they are truly franchise-changing QBs. And judging by Romo's comments, the quarterback doesn't seem too amped about this.

Of course, the Cowboys could look to the defensive side of the football by selecting a playmaker at No. 4. The two most popular names who could be there for the 'Boys early on are Ohio State defensive lineman Joey Bosa and Florida State defensive back Jalen Ramsey. Both players would have an immediate impact on the Cowboys defense next season. Romo would probably be content with this.

And another option for the Cowboys to consider is taking Ole Miss wide receiver Laquon Treadwell after trading down. The pairing of Treadwell with Dez Bryant could do serious damage on offense next season for the Cowboys, and Romo might be pumped if the the club went this route in the draft.

It's tough to imagine the Cowboys screwing up their first-round pick this year with such great positioning, even after the 2012 Draft where the Cowboys took Morris No. 6 overall.
