FutureB
The Cowboys let Allar fall into their laps, and walked away with a D. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent pick No. 209 on Barryn Sorrell, a name most had 45 spots down the list. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.
However the rest shakes out, Allar at that price is a win they earned. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Dennis-Sutton pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end.
The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick21
Rnd1
Luther Burden III
In slot 21 they get a true top target. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Abdul Carter
Abdul Carter at No. 35 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick44
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in Round 2, Pick 12 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick55
Rnd2
Fernando Carmona
They liked Fernando Carmona enough to skip the value, taking him in the 55th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick65
Rnd3
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in slot 65 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick77
Rnd3
Carson Beck
Carson Beck in pick No. 77 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick102
Rnd4
Dani Dennis-Sutton
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end to take Dani Dennis-Sutton, an edge rusher that was not the priority.
Pick109
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tacario Davis in the Round 4 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick113
Rnd4
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in the 113th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick122
Rnd4
Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at the 122nd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick151
Rnd5
Jihaad Campbell
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jihaad Campbell in pick 151, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Nwankpa. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick170
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
Fair-plus on Nazir Stackhouse, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172
Rnd5
Drew Allar
Drew Allar at the 172nd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick188
Rnd6
Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. at Round 6, Pick 13 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick209
Rnd6
Barryn Sorrell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Barryn Sorrell in the Round 6 slot, miles early. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
