FutureB
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story. The Cowboys went off the board in a big way for Dani Dennis-Sutton, 47 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. It is not that Dennis-Sutton is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first.
They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jennings.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44
Rnd2
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond slipping to No. 44 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick55
Rnd2
Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at pick No. 55 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick65
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
They took TreVeyon Henderson at par in pick 65, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick77
Rnd3
Dani Dennis-Sutton
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end to take Dani Dennis-Sutton, an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick80
Rnd3
Ja'Quinden Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ja'Quinden Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick95
Rnd3
Lander Barton
Lander Barton at the 95th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102
Rnd4
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in Round 4, Pick 1 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113
Rnd4
Drew Allar
Fair-plus on Drew Allar, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick122
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
They reached into another round for Lathan Ransom, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick151
Rnd5
J.Michael Sturdivant
J.Michael Sturdivant in No. 151 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169
Rnd5
Shemar Turner
They reached a country mile for Shemar Turner at the Round 5 slot, and the board is aghast. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick170
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Nwankpa at slot 170, value and slot in agreement. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick172
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
They talked themselves into Davison Igbinosun at the 172nd pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188
Rnd6
Alfred Collins
A real head-scratcher, Alfred Collins in slot 188 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick209
Rnd6
Kevin Jennings
A quarterback of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 34 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
