FutureA
A franchise passer in Moore headlines a D weekend for the Cowboys. The war room fell hard for Leroy Harris III, and it showed at pick 127: 62 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Too much went sideways, and the D is the honest tally.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Dante Moore gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
The Cowboys paired the rookies with proven help, Michael Penix Jr. leading the way.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Dante Moore
In pick 10 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick21
Rnd1
Kelley Jones
In pick No. 21 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jamari Johnson
Fair-plus on Jamari Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick47
Rnd2
Princewill Umanmielen
A reach on Princewill Umanmielen in Round 2, Pick 15; the board had better options right there. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick72
Rnd3
LJ Martin
Value said wait; LJ Martin in slot 72 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick77
Rnd3
Ben Roberts
They reached a country mile for Ben Roberts at the 77th pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99
Rnd3
Bear Alexander
Steal is underselling it; Bear Alexander at pick 99 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111
Rnd4
Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor in the 111th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick124
Rnd4
Eli Finley
Eli Finley at the 124th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125
Rnd4
Andrew Sprague
A big swing on Andrew Sprague at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick127
Rnd4
Leroy Harris III
This one needs a full-page explanation: Leroy Harris III in No. 127, miles early. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick139
Rnd4
Marcus Neal Jr.
Marcus Neal Jr. at pick No. 139 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
