14


Ezekiel Elliott Dallas RB

Elliott was special as a rookie, leading the Cowboys to a division title. He plays behind the best line, but he's a special back doing special things.

18


Zack Martin Dallas G

He is a mauler in the run game, helping lead Ezekiel Elliot to a big season in 2016. He isn't as good in pass protection, but he's not far off in that area. I think he's the best guard in the league.

30


Tyron Smith Dallas T

He wasn't as good last season as he's been in the past, but injuries factored in there as well. When he's right, he's arguably the best in the league.

47


Travis Frederick Dallas C

The anchor in the middle of the Dallas line is an outstanding run blocker and a good pass protector. He's the game's best center.

74


Dez Bryant Dallas WR

He played just 13 games last season and had 50 catches, but he averaged 15.9 yards per catch and had eight touchdowns. Those numbers should go way up with Dak Prescott in his second season -- if Bryant can stay on the field.

79


Sean Lee Dallas OLB

When he's on the field, he's impressive. He can run to the football and he's a good tackler. He's a bright spot on a defense that doesn't have a ton of them.

Obvious missing player is obvious

 

[EST_1986]

Obvious missing player is obvious

hes not even on the "Just Missed" list

 

[Sydla]

Apparently Prisco has been ignoring all the emails Risen has been sending him.

 

[Ranching]

I know, I can't believe they left Lucky off the list. LOL

 

[Trouty]

hes not even on the "Just Missed" list

Yeah, I just saw that, too. Wth? And he has Carr way too low (63).

 

[Trouty]

I know, I can't believe they left Lucky off the list. LOL

 

[DFWJC]

Just another list for entertainment

I always think the NFL.com list is preposterously short-sighted and bad.
This list seems a little more through, except for a few odd choices.

ex. Bosa at 21 already seems a bit much. Projecting, I guess.

 

[DFWJC]

travesty!

 

[big dog cowboy]

 

[Ranching]

I don't mind him being left out. Just puts a bigger chip on his shoulder. I just hope he doesn't get a chip tattoo, it's been done. Lol

If Bosa is on the list, then Dak should be. I could see leaving Dak off the list if you're waiting another year to see if he's the real deal. But to put Bosa on the list and at No. 21?
Then again, I think there are more quarterbacks in front of Dak at this point than there are pass rushers in front of Bosa.

 

[SHAMSzy]

man our defensive talent has been pathetic, hopefully that changes with jaylon and the rest of these youngsters

That would be the argument

Tyron smith does not get the credit he deserves. The guy is our best player and it isn't really close. The guy is one of the 10 to 15 best players in all of football.

The other day I remarked how people put Martin above Smith and it's a travesty. Zeke ahead of both? The guys who allow him to look good? Joke.

Bosa waltzed in as a rookie and got 10.5 sacks. There are very few, if any, defensive players in the NFL that would make a better addition to any team. He's so young and has already shown he can be a dominant force.

I'll accept 21 for Bosa. He'll likely be higher next year.

 

[DogFace]

He probably thought Brady was overrated after his first successful year.

Dak can prove that he isn't overrated this year and I think he will.

Bosa is good, but not #21 good.

Like, he's ranked 25 players higher than the guy that has been the consensus best center in the league for 3 years. And somehow prisco has him higher than Odell...?

Other than that these rankings are fine.

 

[Risen Star]

hes not even on the "Just Missed" list

Nor should he be.

 

[ghst187]

The thing that jumps out at me from this is all the discredit Zeke gets for running behind a great line and how much credit the scouting dept deserves. Lot of teams have used multiple first round picks on OL and yet very few have the caliber of OL and players we do. Cooper was selected higher than any of our guys on this list yet he's on his third and probably final team one bad season or injury from being done. Just throwing draft picks at an area doesn't automatically mean that you get it fixed. How many QBs has Cleveland drafted in the first round (mostly top 5) in the past 20 years? But I say all this because we always hear people respond to our OLs compliments with "yeah but they spent three first round picks on OL". If it were that easy everyone would do it. How'd spending the top pick on that central mich OT work out a few years back? Incredible bulk anyone?
