Dak was in complete control of Dallas' offense, threw for nearly 300 yards, and had a 100+ QBR. Still think he's "no way" a first rounder?
Where would Dak go in the draft today?

I agree.
He's shown enough that he'd go in the first round

Yup. Easily top half of the first round at this point. Easily.
And there's no way you can tell me that the Rams aren't at least a little disappointed in Goff. That would factor into where he's taken as well.

He should have been a late 4th.
Most quarterbacks with lesser arm talent go later in the draft

Agreed. I don't get how anyone could think he'd drop out of the top 2 picks.

Check out this pre draft article on Dak...
"Should Dak Prescott go in the first 3 rounds of the NFL draft?" April 6, 2016
Brady Ackerman: I would take Prescott in the second or third round for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, his mobility in and outside the pocket helped the Mississippi State offense thrive the past two seasons. He’s a tremendous competitor who passed for 70 touchdowns in the best league in the country. He has shown the ability to process defenses and takes care of the football. The arm strength issue doesn’t resonate with me like others because he’s a bright kid who is coachable. His recent DUI may force me to dig a little deeper and make sure this is an isolated instance.
Dan Hancock: The comparisons to another Dan Mullen protégé, Tim Tebow, started in 2014 because of Prescott’s ability to extend plays with his legs. Behind the right offensive line, like the Dallas Cowboys’, Prescott could find his legs. His frame, though, is smaller than Tebow’s and Cam Newton’s, so he’d need to rely on his arm for real success. That said, his mechanics are not worthy of an early-round pick. I don’t see anyone building an offense around him. If he can get drafted in the later rounds, learn from an NFL veteran and improve his mechanics, he can have a nice career at the next level.
Leslie Koerdt: Yes. At first glance, that seems like a huge risk. But looking at the progress he has made with his mechanics, his ability to carry his team with little protection and his football intellect make him a good pick for a team that has a quarterback on the roster for Prescott to mirror.
Dan Mathews: I’m a huge Prescott fan. He was a winner at Mississippi State and, over time, will become one in the NFL. I think he could be a third-round pick and would thrive in a situation where he can sit behind a veteran for a few seasons. He is new to taking snaps under center, but has everything you want in a QB. He is an effective leader and makes plays.
Jake Wimberly: Prescott has shown immense improvement in his completion percentage, his ability to make an important pass and that he can make just about every throw asked of him. When you combine that with his athletic ability to extend plays with his feet and make the right decisions way more than not, he has positioned himself into a quarterback you have to look at. Prescott won’t be the first quarterback taken in this draft, but if I am picking in round three and need a quarterback, I would take a serious look at him. He isn’t a guy that you would want to depend on day one, but he is a guy that could be a steal in the third round and someone that could develop into a nice player in the NFL.
