FutureA-
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D. The rest of the league had time to spare on Ben Sinnott; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 41 spots ahead at slot 102.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Getting Oladapo where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
In the 24th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36
Rnd2
Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at Round 2, Pick 4 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick40
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick56
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
They paid sticker price for Chris Braswell in No. 56, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick67
Rnd3
Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the 67th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Good price on Zak Zinter in pick No. 100, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
A big swing on Ben Sinnott at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick124
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on MarShawn Lloyd. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick141
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylan Ford this early at slot 141. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
Value with a capital V on Kitan Oladapo in the 174th pick, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick182
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
No edge and no loss on Michael Barrett in pick No. 182; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick212
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in the 212th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick223
Rnd7
Marcus Harris
A reach on Marcus Harris in No. 223; the board had better options right there. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick224
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
They went early on Nathaniel Watson in Round 7, Pick 4, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick232
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
They reached a country mile for Dwight McGlothern at the 232nd overall pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick245
Rnd7
Maurice Smith
They took Maurice Smith at par in pick 245, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
