Quote from this morning's Denver Post....

[colodawg]

The article is about Elway and company being patient the quarterback process. The quote is, "The Broncos continue to explore all options, including Houston's Brian Hoyer and the draft. Mississippi State's Dak Prescott and Memphis' Paxton Lynch could be available when the Broncos select in the first round, or in Prescott's case, the second." And no mention of the DUI, so that may be in the past.

If Dak would have beaten OM the last two years, he'd be 1st round worthy**

That DUI only meant something to teams that were on the fence with him. It was just another check in either the "Pro" vs "Con" box for those teams - nothing more than a metric for them to make a decision.

Teams that are truly interested in him could care less about that DUI.

Agree 100%. I do think that he was relying on character a little more than your average draftee, but you are correct. It's not going to make much difference in the end.

It's going to be interesting to see how QBs play out in this draft. It's a thin class. Once someone jumps on one, there is going to be a big run on the other guys.

I'm starting to think Dak doesn't make it out of the 2nd round.

Honestly, unless its domestic abuse or PED's the NFL could care less.

If a team is looking to clean up its image, then maybe they look a little harder at a "character guy."

 

[lowbird]

Couldn't care less!!!

 

[MedDawg]

That's probably actually true...

If State beats OM, then we win 11 and 10 games the past two years and have a better bowl in 2015 (tougher win) and maybe also 2014 (or beat GaTech w/momentum). That might be enough to push Dak into the first round.

But...we didn't.

I feel the same. I'm going to be shocked if he gets out of the 2nd round and I'd be more surprised if he gets drafted in the 3rd than in the 1st. Teams reach on qb's all of the time and I don't see this year being any different, creating a domino effect

This isn't fantasy football. Teams aren't given their draft slots 30 mins before the draft and they don't draft because there is a run on a commodity - as if that's the only means they have to fill a position. They pre-rank their players unlike most fantasy players.

The reverse is more probable. If a QB, for example, starts to fall from his projected slot, teams stay away.

No way Dak goes in 2nd round. There's too many other QB's with the same ability.

OT: but speaking of Dak

It was great to see him at the hump yesterday. I don't know if he just supports the team or has "a friend".

What stood out to me the most was all four of the guys with him were in the top section by themselves and they were all standing up as most of the hump was with under 4min to play (clapping and screaming). It was just good to see.

He might be in town to keep working out or he could have just came in for the game. I don't know just impressed me, I guess

 

[patdog]

Friend of mine ran into Dak, Fred Ross and a couple other football players at Chili's in Starkville after the game, so it appears they were just there to support the team. She said all 4 were extremely nice guys.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

I believe Fred dates V Vivians

correct.

What DUI? Correct me if I'm wrong, but Dak Prescott was never charged with a DUI.

Never could figure out why people do that wrong ... but honestly, I couldn't care less .... but it is indeed irritating.

Lynch is probably the best pure drop back passer in the class. And even at 6'7" he's got a pretty good motor. I think Dak likely goes in the 2nd to 3rd round. He'll be ok as long as he gets with the right team.
