It's early, but this class is looking more 2013 than 2014. Doesn't seem deep at all, there looks to be 3rd rounders who would've been 6th/7th rounders in this years class.

Last two drafts were pretty deep. But a lil light on top.

I think this could be a very good QB class

I think this will be a bad QB draft. This draft feels like it's full of average nfl starters and quality depth.

I think the superstars will rise to the top by the end of the year.

This early in the season is always a mess.

I disagree. There is no Luck, but IMO Moriata and Hundley are both better prospects then Bortles. Winston would be too if it wasnt the character questions. What remains to be seen and what we need to be keeping an eye on is how the tier 2 shapes out. Last year was one of the better tier 2 QB drafts a while

I think there's Mariota and then everyone else. I'm just not enamored with anyone. They all seem to have major flaws.

Who are the best pass rusher prospects (DE, DT?)

Thats QB prospects for you when you arent talking about guys who can rightfully go #1

Hundley is legit IMO. I think he goes #1 last year if he came out. His biggest issue is he needs to learn to throw with better touch. That can be coached. Smart, great arm, great leader, excellent athlete

Leonard Williams is honestly the only guy I see with superstar potential at the next level. Randy Gregory might also become a great player eventually.

The QB's are all wildcards, although I do think Mariota will be a good pro. Winston needs to get his head on straight and I wouldn't trust him as the face of my franchise. Bryce Petty I think will be a Cowboy by the time next year's draft ends. But this draft overall will not be as good as last years, that's almost certain.

Strongly disagree.. This draft class doesn't look so strong when you talk about QB, CB, OT, and WR which are often the premier positions but luckily for the Cowboys there are a ton of quality edge rushers as long as a ton of quality backs which they could be in the market for with Murray likely to leave in FA

Defensive Line (a huge need) seems pretty good. We should have a 1st round RB this year and there's 3 to 4 first round QB's and probably another 2 who go in the second. Offensive tackle might not have the elite guys as the last few years but there's some depth there.

Some edge rushers worth keeping an eye on:

Leonard Williams
Randy Gregory
Shawn Oakman
Trey Flowers
Arik Armstead
Shilique Calhoun
Dante Fowler
Vic Beasley
Mario Edwards Jr.
Shane Ray

Need to watch fowler more but was unimpressed with him during the Bama game.

It's way early. The OL looks like it could be real good. Also looks like a good class for DE. Also CB and Safety class looks good.
