Then we have the quarterback. Sam Ehlinger joins teammate Caden Sterns in the mock as heading to the Dallas Cowboys. Ehlinger has received lots of mixed reviews as far as where he stands. This upcoming season will be huge for his draft stock. Can his work with new play caller Mike Yurcich help improve his game enough to be a top 60 selection?

Dane Brugler of the Athletic stated that one team had a preseason second-round grade on Ehlinger. Joining the Cowboys might be a head scratcher but he would likely battle it out with Ben DiNucci for backup duties to starter Dak Prescott. Dalton is on a one-year deal and could be elsewhere in 2021.
