News: DMN: Think the Cowboys stumbled onto drafting Dak Prescott? Michael Irvin says nope

The coaches and scouts get a ton of credit.

Myself, Jerry Jones, completely whiffed on this kid. I wanted Wentz, Lynch, Conner Cook, etc. etc.
 
From the reports we know a few things.

The Cowboys showed more interest in Dak during the predraft process than any other team.

Dak's Pro Day was sparsely attended. Very few NFL teams even did that much due diligence.

Dak's off the field incidents apparently took him off some teams draft boards without a more thorough investigation into his character.

There were certainly elements of luck in the Cowboys selecting Dak, but their interest in Dak leading up to the draft was not luck. The lack of interest showed by other teams was also not luck but rather a deliberate decision made by them.

It also helps that Jerry doesn't care if you're an alcoholic. Not saying that Dak is one but Jerry is like that just the same.
