Carson Wentz was so unimpressive to the Cowboys at the Senior Bowl that they ranked him as the top quarterback on their 2016 draft board.
Dallas Cowboys rookie quarterback Dak Prescott had a very good preseason, which is causing people to lose their minds, including Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.
According to CBS 11 Dallas broadcaster Bill Jones, the Cowboys' owner/GM said that Prescott was the best quarterback at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, where NFL teams got an up-close look at top senior prospects during a week of practices back in January.

The Cowboys coached the North Team, meaning they had the advantage of of really getting to know half the players in attendance. Wentz played for the North team, while Prescott played for the South team.
A big problem with Jones' statement, however, is that the Cowboys' draft board leaks to the public seemingly every year. Their 2016 draft board, which was published by the Cowboys blog Blogging the Boys, clearly shows that Wentz was the highest rated quarterback on their board. Prescott was given a fourth round grade and was rated behind a minimum of five other quarterbacks, including Wentz, Jared Goff, Paxton Lynch, Connor Cook, and Jacoby Brissett (who also competed at the Senior Bowl).
