FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Henderson: D. Call it larceny. TreVeyon Henderson sat on the board until No. 209, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.
They are betting Dart proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.
Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Logan Wilson pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick 2 they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick10
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 7, with Tate Ratledge worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick42
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Omarion Hampton in pick No. 42, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73
Rnd3
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in the 73rd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76
Rnd3
Derrick Harmon
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Derrick Harmon reach No. 76 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jay Higgins
Circle this one: Jay Higgins at slot 149 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick156
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Jake Majors in the 156th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169
Rnd5
Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in pick No. 169 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170
Rnd5
Maxwell Hairston
They reached a country mile for Maxwell Hairston at Round 5, Pick 32, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick171
Rnd5
Michael Taaffe
Somehow Michael Taaffe was still sitting there in No. 171, and they pounced on premier safety value. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick186
Rnd6
Lathan Ransom
Taking Lathan Ransom in pick 186 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick209
Rnd6
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the 209th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215
Rnd7
Jihaad Campbell
Steal is underselling it; Jihaad Campbell at slot 215 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick218
Rnd7
Kyren Lacy
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kyren Lacy in the 218th pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
