FutureB-
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the C tells the story. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Taylen Green a full 97 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Singleton. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.
They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 14 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in slot 45 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75
Rnd3
Ajani Cornelius
Value said wait; Ajani Cornelius in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the 76th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jake Majors
The board fumbled Jake Majors all the way to the 116th overall pick, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick151
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
They barely believed it either: Danny Stutsman still on the board at No. 151. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168
Rnd5
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at the 168th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170
Rnd5
Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at the 170th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171
Rnd5
Taylen Green
Taylen Green at pick No. 171 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick189
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
You do not let a running back like Raheim Sanders reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick209
Rnd6
Xavier Nwankpa
They let Xavier Nwankpa come to them and pounced at slot 209. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jimmy Horn Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Jimmy Horn Jr. in pick 248 is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
