You’ve read “Dak Unpacked,” so let’s get your hands on some 7-round pick “Dissecting DiNucci” going.

When the Cowboys drafted James Madison product and University of Pittsburgh transfer Ben DiNucci’s, I was out of cell service in my own home with no WiFi, helping my wife hang a ceiling light in our living room. I had no choice, she cut the power.

But when I found out they’d drafted him ahead of Washington State’s Anthony Gordon, happiness is not the emotion I felt. I hadn’t watched a second of him outside live viewings of the FCS playoffs, and I didn’t think twice about him at the time.

So I did what anybody else would do… beg for James Madison All-22 on Twitter. And Twitter was kind. What I found was quite shocking.

He’s better than I could have ever imagined. Yes, you do have to factor in competition level a bit. He’s playing against accountants and baristas, not NFL players. But his situation wasn’t incredibly stable from a protection standpoint, and his receivers didn’t help him out a whole lot either. I charted four of his games, and although there weren’t a ton of attempts on film, 78 in total, with the gift of extrapolation, I can dream that he’s the most accurate of all the quarterbacks I charted outside of Joe Burrow.

But I’m not going to go that far. He still has a ways to go. But I would have drafted him earlier than round 7 and been happy about it. And after watching his tape, I would have drafted him ahead of Anthony Gordon. Now, let’s talk traits. These will be in note form, and not always full sentences. Forgive me. Or don’t.
