FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Cowboys: B. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: T.J. Sanders, 55 picks early at Round 5, Pick 31.
The King pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Walter Nolen. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
They robbed the room for Omarion Hampton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick78
Rnd3
Rylie Mills
They talked themselves into Rylie Mills at pick 78, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83
Rnd3
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins slid further than he should have, and slot 83 is lovely value for the linebacker. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117
Rnd4
DJ Campbell
They liked DJ Campbell enough to skip the value, taking him in the 117th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick153
Rnd5
Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams at No. 153 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick157
Rnd5
PJ Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, PJ Williams well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169
Rnd5
T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170
Rnd5
Henry Parrish Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Henry Parrish Jr. at the 170th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171
Rnd5
Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner in pick 171 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick189
Rnd6
Joey Slackman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joey Slackman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick208
Rnd6
Gentry Williams
Gentry Williams in the 208th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick233
Rnd7
Haynes King
A quarterback of that caliber at slot 233 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
