Here is a mock draft I did where we trade Levis, 103, and 178 to the Cowboys for 76 and 174.

I don't think Jerry would do that.

I don't think Jerry would do that.

They need a backup QB. Value wise, its similar to the Sam Howell and Kenny Pickett trades last March.

Maybe Jerry has other plans. But they need a back up QB.

I doubt Jerry trades for a backup when he can draft one on day 3 or sign a UDFA. Will Grier is currently the backup but nobody is excited about that any more than they would be having Levis as backup.

I'm sure this will be an unpopular opinion here, but over the last week or so, I've gone back and watched damn near every throw he's made at Miami, and also watched as much of his Washington State film as I could find. And honestly, I really like Cam Ward.

He has flaws. He likes to play hero-ball, which I know we're all skeptical of after two years of Will Levis, but he's not nearly as reckless. And that's not just a hindsight thing. That was noticeable from Levis even at UK. Ward plays the game smarter, even though he sometimes trusts his arm too much.

He has a much better feel for the pocket, and although his arm may not be as strong as Levis's, his ball placement is noticeably better, as is his short and intermediate accuracy (his deep ball accuracy leaves a lot to be desired, although he does hit some dimes occasionally).

His athleticism is sneaky good. There were several games I thought he criminally underutilized his own ability to run.

His Washington State film was understandably a lot more raw, but funnily enough, all I could think about when watching it was a young McNair, which may actually be an apt comparison in terms of his ceiling. I also find it interesting that he was unranked as a prospect coming out of high school. Dude played at Incarnate Word (?) for two years before transferring to WSU, and he has steadily improved over his college career, even as he's risen through higher levels of competition.

I've seen enough to where I would not be upset if we took him 1/1.

I posted this not long after we “won” the top pick, and just wanted to revisit it now that it looks increasingly likely that we will select Ward next month. Having looked at even more of his film, I maintain these opinions. I think he’s a flawed, but overall very solid prospect.

And I remain enamored by the fact that he worked his way from literally a zero-star recruit playing in a wing-t high school offense, to a Heisman candidate his senior year of college. Despite the flaws in his game, I think he has what it takes to figure it out in the pros, which is far more than I felt for Levis or Willis.

I don't know what Jerry is likely to do, but going with a late round rookie QB or a UDFA doesn't seem like a wise move given Dak's propensity for getting injured. I suspect they'll add someone with NFL experience either before or during the draft.
