The Cowboys robbed the room for Lundt. Final grade: B. The rest of the league will want that one back. Chase Lundt tumbling to the Cowboys in slot 236 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The cost of the West reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In slot 22 they get a mismatch in the passing game. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at the 44th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick45
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Emeka Egbuka in the Round 2 slot, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick58
Rnd2
Cameron Williams
Circle this one: Cameron Williams at the 58th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick81
Rnd3
Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo slipping to pick 81 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in No. 82 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86
Rnd3
Marcus Mbow
Somehow Marcus Mbow was still sitting there in pick No. 86, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89
Rnd3
Sebastian Castro
They took Sebastian Castro at par in Round 3, Pick 25, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick116
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
They robbed the room for Danny Stutsman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips in the 118th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick170
Rnd5
Will Howard
Will Howard in the 170th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick172
Rnd5
Jay Higgins
They will replay Jay Higgins at slot 172 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174
Rnd5
Tommi Hill
Tommi Hill at pick No. 174 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick177
Rnd5
Addison West
They talked themselves into Addison West at pick 177, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick236
Rnd7
Chase Lundt
Taking Chase Lundt in No. 236 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick243
Rnd7
KeAndre Lambert-Smith
Steal is underselling it; KeAndre Lambert-Smith at Round 7, Pick 25 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
