The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Mukuba: D. Nobody else had Gabe Jacas anywhere near pick 171. The Cowboys did, by 95 spots, and that gap is the whole story. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.
That Mukuba pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Tre Harris
In No. 11 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick12
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In pick 12 they get a blindside protector, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39
Rnd2
Carson Beck
A wild overpay on Carson Beck in the 39th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick42
Rnd2
Abdul Carter
A edge rusher of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick46
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 14, with Luther Burden III worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71
Rnd3
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in No. 71 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick75
Rnd3
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at slot 75 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick95
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
No edge and no loss on Alfred Collins in pick 95; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick107
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman is a better player than the 107th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick110
Rnd4
Howard Cross III
The board had Howard Cross III higher than the 110th overall pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149
Rnd5
Nicholas Singleton
Taking Nicholas Singleton in pick No. 149 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick152
Rnd5
Ja'Quinden Jackson
Circle this one: Ja'Quinden Jackson at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 169 is miles ahead of his ranking. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick170
Rnd5
Taylen Green
They reached into another round for Taylen Green, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas at pick 171 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick186
Rnd6
Andrew Mukuba
You do not let a safety like Andrew Mukuba reach the 186th overall pick and blink. They did not. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick209
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in the 209th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick227
Rnd7
KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
