Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Dart: D-. The board owed the Cowboys one, and it paid up: Jaxson Dart, the No. 120 name on the board, sitting there at No. 188 like a gift left on the doorstep.
If Turner pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick17
Rnd1
Tre Harris
In pick No. 17 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Cameron Williams
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cameron Williams at pick 44 is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick48
Rnd2
Mykel Williams
They did well to land Mykel Williams in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick61
Rnd2
Emery Jones Jr.
No edge and no loss on Emery Jones Jr. in slot 61; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
By-the-book stuff, Quinshon Judkins at Round 3, Pick 13 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick94
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
Good price on Danny Stutsman in No. 94, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick95
Rnd3
Ja'Quinden Jackson
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ja'Quinden Jackson. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick113
Rnd4
Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at the 113th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151
Rnd5
Shemar Turner
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shemar Turner this early at No. 151. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick169
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
A slide stopped in pick 169, with Xavier Nwankpa worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick170
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
They went early on Davison Igbinosun in Round 5, Pick 32, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
This one needs a full-page explanation: Elijah Roberts in pick No. 172, miles early. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jaxson Dart
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Jaxson Dart in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick209
Rnd6
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in slot 209 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
