Grand theft in pick 174: the Cowboys steal McCord and grade out a B. You build a draft on nights like this. Kyle McCord had no business being available in pick No. 174, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card.
They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In No. 12 they get a featured back, outstanding value to boot.
Pick76
Rnd3
Tre Harris
They robbed the room for Tre Harris here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick80
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Nothing to complain about; Omarr Norman-Lott went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at slot 116 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150
Rnd5
Jeffrey Bassa
You do not let a linebacker like Jeffrey Bassa reach pick No. 150 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant at pick 170 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley at Round 5, Pick 33 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174
Rnd5
Kyle McCord
The board fumbled Kyle McCord all the way to the 174th pick, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190
Rnd6
Dorian Strong
Circle this one: Dorian Strong at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211
Rnd6
Woody Marks
Woody Marks in Round 6, Pick 33 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick249
Rnd7
Torricelli Simpkins III
Good price on Torricelli Simpkins III in pick 249, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
