Clayton Tune, Quarterback, Houston

Height: 6’2 1/2   Weight: 220lbs

Career Stats: 956 career completions, 11,994 passing yards, 63.9 completion percentage, 104 touchdowns, 41 interceptions

They’ve said that they needed to look at drafting a quarterback and they meant it, as the Cowboys take Clayton Tune in the fifth round. Tune is someone that the athletic ability to make plays in both the passing game and with his legs if he needs to. He has nice accuracy and a knack for leading his receivers giving them the ability to run after the catch, something Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy wants to lean into this season.

Tune arm strength might be an issue but if you can be accurate in this league you have a good chance of sticking with a team.
