Best value of the weekend goes to the Cowboys for Henderson: D. The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jamaree Caldwell at the 209th pick regardless, 71 picks early.
The Henderson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Spending an early pick on edge rusher with cornerback and tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In pick No. 11 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick13
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In No. 13 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39
Rnd2
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the 39th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick42
Rnd2
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the 42nd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick44
Rnd2
Carson Beck
They reached into another round for Carson Beck, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71
Rnd3
Ashton Gillotte
No drama and no debate, Ashton Gillotte went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 7. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick75
Rnd3
Sonny Styles
Taking Sonny Styles in the 75th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick95
Rnd3
Mykel Williams
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Mykel Williams at edge rusher with cornerback and tight end open.
Pick107
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110
Rnd4
Drew Allar
They took Drew Allar at par in the 110th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick114
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
A curious use of slot 114. Cornerback and tight end needed the pick; a safety in Andrew Mukuba did not.
Pick149
Rnd5
Theo Wease Jr.
A wild overpay on Theo Wease Jr. in No. 149, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169
Rnd5
Nicholas Singleton
Somehow Nicholas Singleton was still sitting there in the 169th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170
Rnd5
Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in pick No. 170 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Nwankpa. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick186
Rnd6
TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach slot 186 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell in pick 209 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
