Deep Pick choiceDraft Bo Nix over Dak Prescott. Nix is far higher on the board, and he leads in modeled median and high-end output while keeping essentially equivalent role command (97.0% vs 96.4%). That efficiency-plus-ceiling profile gives the QB edge: Nix produces more even without a usage advantage. Safety is also better for Nix (21 vs 28), suggesting fewer downside tails. Prescott’s playoff runway is better (66 vs 57), but Nix’s higher baseline value fits the earlier acquisition window.

Prescott’s best route is maximizing postseason QB output, since his playoff runway (66 vs 57) is stronger even with slightly lower modeled ceiling.
A reported setback, renewed practice restriction, or evidence that the ankle limits his designed or scrambling usage would reverse the improved outlook.
