Watching the Patriots tonight and noted Joe Thuney and Ted Karras are starting. A couple of My Guys I targeted later in the draft.

I had Nassib #14 & Green #43. I wish that the Colts would take a look at my draft board. Nassib would have been nice in the 2nd round. Sorry, but scoring 35 points and still losing makes me perturbed.

Dak Prescott is having a pretty nice little rookie season. As My Colts are starting Tolzien against the Steelers, it would have been nice to see him playing with Andrew Luck out. I am also of the opinion that it would have been better to have drafted Dak in the 3rd round instead of signing Brock Osweiler as a Free Agent here in Houston.

So Roy - how did the whole league (including Dallas) miss it on Prescott, even Dallas didn't draft him until very late in the 4th round with their second of two 4th round picks ?

The whole league missed out on Dak Prescott for a couple of reasons. I would have to believe that the DUI he got right before the draft didn't do him any favors. Then, there was the Tim Tebow bias against him since he was running the same show with Tebow's ex-offensive coordinator. Teams didn't feel like the college success would translate into the NFL. Still I was surprised to see that the Patriots selected Jacoby Brissett before Prescott in the draft. I had Brissett as a plan B if Prescott went early in the draft. All I knew was that Dak improved every year with his paasing, and turned around the Mississippi State program and had them ranked. Every time I saw him play he exuded confidence and leadership. Not the fake motivation, but actual passion and his teammates followed him. I knew he was a project, but I loved his demeanor and work ethic to bet on his continued success.

Turns out 4th rounder Prescott is not a project but rather a ready to go NFL starter his rookie year. It would seem a better example of a project is #1 overall Goff with the Rams. I think the truth is hardly nobody can successfully evaluate college QBs re their NFL potential.
And just look at what "QB guru" Bill O'Brien missed in his first Draft with his second round pick: Derrick Carr, Garralo (spell?) Bridgewater.
