FutureB-
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: B. The rest of the league had time to spare on Barryn Sorrell; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 146 spots ahead at No. 150. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
They banked enough surplus on Ransom to cover a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 12 they get a lead back with juice, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick55
Rnd2
Tre Harris
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Tre Harris. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in the 76th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick86
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Value with a capital V on Tate Ratledge in slot 86, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick116
Rnd4
Carson Schwesinger
Taking Carson Schwesinger in Round 4, Pick 15 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Barryn Sorrell well ahead of where he belonged. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick170
Rnd5
Terrance Ferguson
They will replay Terrance Ferguson at slot 170 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick172
Rnd5
Quinn Carroll
They left a pile of value on the table to take Quinn Carroll this early at Round 5, Pick 33. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Lathan Ransom in the 174th pick, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick183
Rnd6
Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis in pick No. 190 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick211
Rnd6
KJ Jefferson
They talked themselves into KJ Jefferson at No. 211, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Somehow Jack Kiser was still sitting there in the 249th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
