FutureA+
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. Nobody had Princewill Umanmielen this high, and it is not close. The Cowboys reached 54 spots to get him at pick 178. It grades a D, and the process earned it.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. That Styles pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get an enforcer at safety, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick20
Rnd1
Caleb Banks
In slot 20 they get a disruptor off the edge, reach and all.
Pick36
Rnd2
Anthony Hill Jr.
They did well to land Anthony Hill Jr. in pick No. 36, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick60
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
They barely believed it either: Sonny Styles still on the board at the 60th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67
Rnd3
Caleb Tiernan
A conviction pick on Caleb Tiernan at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick75
Rnd3
Kenyatta Jackson Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Kenyatta Jackson Jr. in No. 75 is miles ahead of his ranking. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick87
Rnd3
Trinidad Chambliss
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trinidad Chambliss this early at the Round 3 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick102
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nicholas Singleton at pick No. 102. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
No edge and no loss on Tacario Davis in Round 4, Pick 12; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151
Rnd5
Chase Roberts
A tidy bit of business in the 151st pick, where Chase Roberts graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick178
Rnd5
Princewill Umanmielen
A big swing on Princewill Umanmielen at pick 178, well ahead of any board in the building. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jordan Hall
A wild overpay on Jordan Hall in slot 215, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick221
Rnd7
Dijon Johnson
They jumped the gun on Dijon Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick225
Rnd7
Brett Norfleet
They took Brett Norfleet at par in No. 225, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
