I don't know about a redraft because the beauty is in the eye f the beholder. Right now the best player out of this draft is Elliott, hands down. He is the most dominant and NFL ready player in the entire draft. He is arguably so good that not only is he the best player out of this draft he is the best player at his position in the entire NFL. He is that complete and that dominant.

Dak Prescott is the steal of this draft so far, but it is too early to tell where the QBs will eventually shake out. I think Wentz and Dak are "pick 'em" as far at talent goes, which is awesome considering the disprity in compensation expended by the Eagles on Wentz vs. what we gave up for Dak. The salary cap implications are also very different. It's Dak all day every day for what we gave up to get him.

You guys are far too enamored by Bosa. He can be disruptive but can be contained, or schemed and he won't affect every play. Neither Bosa nor Ramsey will impact the game like one of the best QBs or Zeke.

I agree with this 1000 percent. However, Bosa is getting good pressure, which is rare for a rookie lineman no matter how high he's drafted.

Dak
Zeke
Wentz
Ramsey
Bosa
Will Fuller

I don't know man. If we're talking about just based on the first six weeks, I just can't see most teams still taking Wentz over Dak at that point. By the end of the season, who knows, but right now, I don't don't even see a debate on which QB would go first.

Dak is starting to outplay Wentz on a consistent basis, but I do think Wentz's better measurables would still place him above Dak on many boards.

The "Wentz plays with inferior talent" argument would also be used in his favor.

I'd probably guess

1. Wentz
2. Dak
3. Bosa
4. Zeke

If you notice, QBs are always the first players drafted in the draft in the years where there are QBs that appear remotely worth the grade. About the only time DEs or DTs go first overall is when there is not a QB anywhere in the ball park in terms of grading out to be worthy of the #1 overall pick.

I agree Zeke is the best player, and it's not even that close. But I think the value placed on QBs, combined with the lack of value given to RBs comparatively speaking, would still cause Zeke to be somewhat under drafted.

I see what your doing here. I was curious what your story would be today after yesterday's convincing win since been waiting for the kid to flounder as your Hero will have to ride the pine a little longer than you'd hope.

Don't worry, Uncle J will bring him back eventually. They are circling like Vultures waiting on the first scent of blood.

I recall Nate Newton saying that they had a good OL then they drafted Emmitt and became a great OL.

The Right talent does matter. They compliment each other .

Obviously 2015 is a great example you can't throw any talent behind it and have the kind of success we're having this year or in 2014.

I'd begin to throw Dak up there with some of the greatest Rookies in NFL history .

Names like Marino and Elway. This might be what we're seeing here. We'll see.

He's off to a pretty good start breaking Brady's record .

Just what we've been missing all these years. A HOF QB. We certainly know what that's meant in the past. I'll hang up and listen. Ha

"Measurables" don't matter nearly as much, if at all, once the player is actually seen in NFL action. What were Romo's measurables heading into the draft?

I doubt the Browns would of traded down with the Eagles if they could get Wentz or Dak

Elway was ridiculously awful as a rookie. Horrible.

Man, you're seeing ghosts. None of this lessens or strengthens Romo.

This team isn't built around the quarterback anymore. And that's good.

Of course not now that Romo isnt in there.

If Dak has more success than Romo it will lessen his legacy.
