#Cowboys are flying up to work out Oregon St. QB Sean Mannion tomorrow, source said. Could they draft a QB for the first time since 2009?

More interestingly, the Cowboys’ liken with Mannion dates back much farther than this year. Jason Garrett‘s brother was Mannion’s quarterback last year at Oregon State.
Dallas Cowboys long been interested in Oregon State QB Sean Mannion. Will be working him out. Jason Garrett's brother was his OC last year.

What the Cowboys like out of Mannion is his frame at 6-foot-6, 230 pounds, and his recognition with an pro-style offense, which is the offense he ran under Mike Riley in college. I’m not a fan of the Cowboys drafting a quarterback in this year’s draft, but if they are to draft Mannion, this will be the likely landing spot on where it will happen.

Sean Mannion
QB, Oregon State
Before I get started talking about why I have the Cowboys drafting this quarterback, I have to say that I’m not the biggest fan of Sean Mannion. In fact, I really doubt that he can ever make the transition into a starting-caliber quarterback in the NFL. His throwing motion is extremely slow, he can’t really move well around the pocket, and he has a tendency to turn the football over when he is under pressure.
Despite that, the Cowboys reportedly really like Mannion. The team liked him enough to fly up to Oregon State’s campus to work out the quarterback prospect.
