Where would Dak go in the draft today?

I think Dak would go first in any draft class...even if you a HOF draft class together, I'm pretty sure Dak would still go first
 
If you really had Wentz and others ranked higher, I'm not sure why you wouldn't still have them higher. Preseason is and has always been meaningless, and has no correlation to any regular season performance historically.
Dak has been strangely accurate in the preseason, and it's entirely possible that he has improved his accuracy and mechanics through training (Romo himself did this). But if he turns back into a pumpkin throwing the ball, it could get ugly quick. There's a reason why he has been compared to Tebow a lot.

Is it any less meaningless than anything they've done up to this point? It's a big step up in competition and far from meaningless, especially game 3 against a top 3 D on the road, off the bench cold following an injury. I get that's it's silly to pretend he a sure thing now, but it feels equally silly to write off his performace all together.

Any comparison to Tebow is incomplete. The biggest thing that kept Tebow from being an NFL level QB doesn't apply to Prescott. So yeah, Prescott played in the same system and did a lot of the same things in college. Both guys can run and are bruisers rather than burners. Neither guy was especially accurate. But Tebow had an awful, slow, elongated release that he couldn't fix with NFL coaching. Dak doesn't have that hurdle.

Think this is maybe going too far?

So far he has looked, by a country mile, to be the the best and most ready QB in the draft in actual, albeit preseason, NFL action. Does that not propel him over Goff and Wentz? Who knows, but I don't think it's out of the question with how QB's are drafted.

I agree that Tebow's throwing motion was far from ideal but I disagree that it was his biggest hurdle. Philip Rivers has a motion you wouldn't teach your worst enemy, but he's super talented. Tebow just didn't have the arm talent to make NFL throws despite putting up Nintendo-like numbers that blow just about everyone else away in college football history. Dak has more arm talent than Tebow, but it's easily his biggest weakness. I'm hoping that like Tony (and Drew Brees, another QB who has dramatically increased his throwing ability through weights and training) Dak has actually improved in this area and it's not just a mirage.

It's not that he had an awkward throwing motion, it was his throwing motion that was the problem. Tebow had a rocket arm, and in that regard, he had plenty of arm talent. But his throwing motion was too slow and made it hard for him to get any touch on his throws at the first two levels. Dak doesn't have that problem.

I agree that Dak isn't the most accurate and that could be a problem. But if you ignore their college system and ability to run, they're no longer a valid comparision for the other.
 
Lynch went in the 20's and Dak has outplayed him. No doubt Dak goes number 1 overall with the knowledge we have now. Especially a team that needs a QB to start week 1........eagles would still take Wentz that's why they have no superbowl haha

Maybe 3 preseason games is a bit premature to make that call.

I would certainly still takes Wentz now over Dak until we see more games. And believe me I'm rooting for him to fail more than anyone
 
I think it would be Lynch, Wentz one-two and have a hard time believing Dak makes it out of the first round.
Had heard prior to the draft that the Broncos liked him plenty as well.
 
I think it's just as plain as the nose on my avatar's face, Dak's pick wouldn't have been at the end of the 4th round! :thumbup:
