A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a D. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Trey Moore at Round 4, Pick 15 is 149 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Perkins Jr.. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. It is not that Mukuba is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first.
For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
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
Pick6
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In No. 6 they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick14
Rnd1
Tre Harris
In pick 14 they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 37th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick45
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
A big swing on Donovan Jackson at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick75
Rnd3
Kurtis Rourke
They talked themselves into Kurtis Rourke at slot 75, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
They read the board right and Alfred Collins was the payoff at pick No. 76. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
A surprising call. With cornerback and tight end still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Andrew Mukuba, a safety they were not short of.
Pick116
Rnd4
Trey Moore
Trey Moore at the 116th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick119
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at slot 119 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick151
Rnd5
Antwane Wells Jr.
Antwane Wells Jr. in Round 5, Pick 13 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at No. 168 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170
Rnd5
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders in pick No. 170 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171
Rnd5
Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway in the 171st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jimmy Horn Jr.
They reached a country mile for Jimmy Horn Jr. at pick 189, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209
Rnd6
Harold Perkins Jr.
You do not let a linebacker like Harold Perkins Jr. reach slot 209 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248
Rnd7
Garrett Greene
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Garrett Greene. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
