Was Will Levis not No. 1 on the Cowboys draft board when the pick was made?

[KB1122]

Will Levis, QB of Kentucky, was supposed to be a Top 5 pick before he started slipping. Was he not the top player on the Cowboys draft board when they made their choice at No. 26? Was he not the best player remaining?

In Cowboy World, why does "take the best player remaining at the top of your draft board" never apply to the most important position? Why do we (claim to) follow this rule when it's a defensive linemen but not a quarterback?

We are told it's too expensive to trade up to the top of the draft to go after a blue chip quarterback prospect. So what's the excuse when one, like Aaron Rodgers, slips to the bottom of the round and the Cowboys take Marcus Spears, instead? Why?

In the 35 years since we drafted Troy Aikman, through thick and thin, has there never been a single time in a first round when the best remaining player on the Cowboys draft board was a quarterback?

I'm tired of this BS .....

He isn't. Word getting out that a lot of teams had him as a 2nd rounder.

Half the league has Levis as a day two selection. Dude has all the trademarks of a QB bust.

But more to the point, best player available doesn’t include QB if you already have a franchise QB. You only play one QB if you have any choice in the matter. You pick the best players to put around the QB to win.

 

[TrailBlazer]

Best player available is a myth. It sounds good but doesn't work because the point is to build a team. Not to just collect talent. It has to be a perfect mix of need and Best available.

 

[speedkilz88]

They had 11 first round grades and Mazi was 13 or 14.

 

[charron]

Levi's probably was but he's a futures pick. DT was a win now pick.. at least they didn't go TE

 

[charron]

They simply do not have the stones to walk away from dak. If they don't win a sb this year it's a waste

 

[JW82]

Seriously

That guy isn’t leading anyone anywhere. Don’t guess and make a bad pick just because some fans hate Dak. He isn’t the replacement. Wait till one is there. I’ll let you know. None in this draft except maybe Bryce Young.

 

[Nova]

Levis isn’t good

 

[lostar2009]

He was the best player available for the D. In their eyes.

 

[zrinkill]

OP made up something to have an excuse to cry about it.

Lol

 

[Walker]

We are not going to want to hurt Daks feelings. Some QBs take it personal and can't be fully blamed, its their job security so that prob came into play.

Or maybe like the rest of the NFL, the Cowboys dont think Levis is a 1st round caliber QB

Do you really want them to take a 2nd round QB just to pee in Dak fans cherrios?

He was actually in the early teens on rating.

There were loads of teams with actual need at QB that passed on him.

Cowboys were way down the list of people who should have been expected to consider Levis

 

[PlantMySeed]

If Will Levis starts slipping into middle of the second round I think the Cowboys should draft him.

Why do you stick around? Honest question

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Perhaps this has something to do with it..........not to mention I heard/read he turned off a few teams during his interviews

 

[stiletto]

Levis is terrible... plays like Ben Dinucci.

Why?
