Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was selected as the 12th overall pick by his own team in an NFL redraft exercise. Analyst Chad Reuter ranked players based on their ability to contribute to a championship-winning team this season. Prescott, who has been the Cowboys' starter for over a decade, had a bounce-back season last year, throwing for 4,552 yards and 30 touchdowns. The first 12 selections of the draft were all quarterbacks, with Prescott being the last of this group. The redraft took into account talent for immediate impact rather than long-term outlook.
