—This week I asked one scout, one director of player personnel and one quarterbacks coach where Dak Prescott would go in a redraft.

The answers:

Scout: "I think he has to go in the top five. You'd take Wentz first and then maybe one of the tackles [Ronnie Stanley or Jack Conklin], butDak is in that conversation."

Director: "It's very early and we haven't seen [Jared] Goff yet, but I'd put Dak right behind Wentz as the best draft pick so far in this class. Regardless of position."

Coach: "You guys love to hype these guys up, don't you? Based on the preseason and three weeks, sure, I'd say he looks like a first-rounder."

—Every scout I've talked to this year has downplayed the senior quarterback talent across the country. Tennessee's Josh Dobbs was high on some watch lists to start the year, but one scout I spoke to this week said Dobbs "isn't an NFL passer." The search for a top-tier senior quarterback continues...

—LSU defensive lineman Davon Godchaux was gaining buzz in the scouting world heading into last weekend. Then news broke thatGodchaux would be suspended after he was arrested on charges of domestic abuse battery/child endangerment and false imprisonment.

Those charges were dropped, and Godchaux's suspension was lifted, according to Jim Kleinpeter of the Times-Picayune. A massive defensive line prospect, the 6'4", 299-pounder's status for this weekend's game against Missouri is unknown.

—Alabama edge-rusher Tim Williams, a player in the top 20 of my big board, was arrested Thursday morning on gun charges, per Mia Watkins and Kelvin Reynolds of WBRC. Williams was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, a misdemeanor. This isn't likely to be a big enough red flag on its own to hurt Williams' stock, but NFL teams will file it away and ask him about it during interviews.

—Auburn's Carl Lawson isn't getting the same hype Texas A&M's Myles Garrett is, but the stand-up pass-rusher has top-10 potential. Here's our spotlight of his talents.

—"If it weren't for the off-field [issues], Joe Mixon would be in the five best backs [of this class]. Guaranteed.
