FutureA+
The Cowboys found their guy under center in Sanders: D+. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Collin Oliver in the Round 5 slot. Hard to defend, and the D+ reflects that.
On value alone, Sampson makes the weekend a net positive. Shedeur Sanders is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In slot 1 they get a franchise quarterback. A real need, handled.
Pick14
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at No. 44 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick76
Rnd3
Tre Harris
Taking Tre Harris in pick 76 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick101
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in Round 3, Pick 37 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick115
Rnd4
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the 115th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jared Wilson
Circle this one: Jared Wilson at slot 140 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148
Rnd5
Darius Alexander
A tidy bit of business in pick 148, where Darius Alexander graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick168
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
They reached into another round for Nazir Stackhouse, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170
Rnd5
Collin Oliver
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Collin Oliver well ahead of where he belonged. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick173
Rnd5
Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186
Rnd6
Carson Schwesinger
The board fumbled Carson Schwesinger all the way to the 186th pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick187
Rnd6
Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith in No. 187 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209
Rnd6
James Burnip
A top-tier specialist at a bargain, James Burnip in the 209th overall pick, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick248
Rnd7
Addison West
They barely believed it either: Addison West still on the board at slot 248. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
