Who will be the Dak Prescott of the 2017 NFL Draft?

The Dallas Cowboys made easily the best selection of the 2016 NFL Draft when they landed quarterback Dak Prescott in the fourth-round (135th overall). Prescott has come in and become an over-night sensation for the Cowboys, leading them to a dominant 11-1 record. Prescott is a major reason for the Cowboys’ 2016 success and is undoubtedly a major threat to take home the NFL MVP award as a rookie quarterback. Last season, when the Cowboys lost Tony Romo to injury, their season was over. This year, their season got better.

Romo is undoubtedly a high-level NFL quarterback, but Prescott has immediately taken the league by storm. He is an incredibly gifted player who rarely makes a bad decision on the football field. Nobody really saw this coming, but the Cowboys could not be happier about their selection.

Who will be the next Dak Prescott? That is obviously not an easy question to answer. Prescott has come in and is playing better than any fourth-round rookie quarterback who we have seen before. Expecting someone to repeat that success next year would be foolish. Moreover, he’s a player who came into a fantastic situation.

That being said, there is always potential value at the position. Expecting any of these guys to be league MVP candidates next season would be crazy, but I think there is some nice under-valued talent at the quarterback position in the 2017 NFL Draft.

As Prescott has shown us this season, anything can happen. Here are five quarterbacks in the 2017 NFL Draft who will likely go in the middle-to-late rounds and could potentially have a Prescott-like impact.
