I don't hold the DUI against him professionally.

That certainly is not indicative of a drinking problem. :rolleyes:

It is indicative of a young guy making a bone-headed decision which young guys do.

Bosa 1st round.
Henry or a DT or a CB in round 2.
This guy in round 3.

Hmm.

"Undraftable" according to this guy, who has been evaluating qbs for years and posting the numbers. Just an FYI.



Let me tell you about that guy. He swore up and down Brett Smith of Wyoming was going to be an NFL starter.
Rick Neuheisel just said on NFLRadio that Prescott is not far off where Russell Wilson was when he was drafted and that he loves the kid. Everyone has an opinion, not sure if Albright should be your baseline.

Yeah, no one truly knows until the kid has logged 4 seasons in the NFL.

But he has an intriguing skill set.

And if the Cowboys do not feel they can justify taking a QB at #4... Certainly dropping their early 3rd rounder on him is an option. I don't see him lasting until the 4th round.

I'd move on from this one...just seems to stink to high heaven. If we can't trust you when all of your future is on the line...why would I put the ball in your hands for the future?

This is my personal nightmare scenario.

When Dak Prescott was arrested on a DUI charge last weekend, many teams may have dropped him further down their list of draft candidates. Media analysts have weighed in on the subject and seem to be a bit unsure what this all means as Lance Zierlein told NFL.com:

"If there is nothing else (negative in his background), I think every team is going to go off their own personal interviews with him and what their scouts have gathered on his character," Zierlein said. "That should reign supreme over one incident. But it certainly doesn't help."

"For a team that was on the fence about him, this would be an easy way for an owner to knock him off the board. If he's a guy who was just barely alive (as a prospect for a team) and half the building was for him and half was not for taking him, this might be enough to get him scratched," Zierlein said. "That's how he could potentially get hurt. If you like Dak Prescott already, and there's nothing else in his background that's a red flag as it pertains to alcohol, I don't think this is going to hurt him badly. It was very important for him to come out and take responsibility right away."

Well, don't count the Dallas Cowboys as one of those teams with doubt, in fact, they plan to work out the Mississippi State signal caller this coming Monday. Dak Prescott was one of the quarterbacks at the Senior Bowl way back when and actually won the contest's MVP award? Also, of note, Dak met with Scott Linehan pretty extensively in Mobile and was rumored to be a guy they really liked.

Doing a little homework on him myself, here's what you can expect from a prospect like Prescott. Originally, I had Prescott pegged for that pick at 102, but he could likely be taken in the third round if he checks all the proverbial boxes...
