The , who haven't drafted a quarterback since 2009, could be in the market for one in this draft and had a private workout with UCLA's on Thursday. NFL Media insider starter turns 35 next week, on April 21. Dallas has drafted just three quarterbacks in the past 25 years -- Bill Musgrave in 1991, Quincy Carter in 2001 and Stephen McGee in 2009; Carter was a second-rounder, and the other two were fourth-rounders. Hundley looks to be a second- or third-rounder. Dallas' current backup quarterback is , who washed out in Cleveland after being a first-round pick in 2012. Hundley (6-foot-3, 226 pounds) racked up a school-record 11,677 total yards and threw a school-record 75 TD pa ses. He is a good athlete Julian Chandler Jersey with a nice arm and is adept at running the read-option. But he lacks awarene s and poise in the pocket and takes a ton of sacks for a guy with his mobility. That he hasn't shown he can be a pocket pa ser should scare the and most NFL teams. Can he become one? Certainly. And if he does end up in Dallas, he likely would have at least a year or two to sit and learn about being an NFL quarterback. Among Hundley's other recent visits: Arizona, Cincinnati, Houston, the , Philadelphia and San Diego. While Romo's increasing age likely causes some angst in the ' front office, quarterback is not nece sarily a need position in this draft. Cornerback, running back and help on the defensive front are the top three needs, and taking Hundley -- or any quarterback -- on the first two days of the draft obviously would le sen the chances of Dallas getting an instant-impact rookie at the other positions.Mike Huguenin can be reached at mike.huguenin@nfl.com.
