Larceny in slot 168 lands the Cowboys a A-, Neal and all. The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Devin Neal, No. 168, roughly 85 picks past where he belonged.
The cost of the Toia reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Tre Harris and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Tre Harris
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Value with a capital V on Derrick Harmon in Round 2, Pick 12, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick74
Rnd3
Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson at No. 74 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116
Rnd4
Hollin Pierce
Nothing to complain about; Hollin Pierce went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick117
Rnd4
Sebastian Castro
A safety of that caliber at the 117th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick168
Rnd5
Devin Neal
Taking Devin Neal in pick 168 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170
Rnd5
Joshua Gray
They took Joshua Gray at par in slot 170, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184
Rnd6
Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick No. 184 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick187
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
The board fumbled Oronde Gadsden II all the way to the 187th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick209
Rnd6
Robert Spears-Jennings
You do not let a safety like Robert Spears-Jennings reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick237
Rnd7
Jay Toia
A big swing on Jay Toia at the 237th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick247
Rnd7
Tyler Cooper
A wild overpay on Tyler Cooper in No. 247, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
