FutureA
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. The Cowboys spent real capital to be 49 picks early on Tony Rojas, and the board is going to hold them to it.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Haulcy.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Anthony Hill Jr.
In pick 18 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick20
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In pick No. 20 they get the heartbeat of the defense, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49
Rnd2
Lee Hunter
They left a pile of value on the table to take Lee Hunter this early at the Round 2 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
Quietly one of the better values of the day, A.J. Haulcy at No. 71. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75
Rnd3
Tyreak Sapp
A real head-scratcher, Tyreak Sapp in the 75th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at the 87th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick97
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton slipping to pick 97 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick112
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
No drama and no debate, Tacario Davis went about where he belonged in the 112th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150
Rnd5
Xavier Nwankpa
They paid a round early for Xavier Nwankpa in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick177
Rnd5
J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant at slot 177 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jordan Hall
They reached a country mile for Jordan Hall at Round 6, Pick 36, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick221
Rnd7
Haynes King
A premium they did not need to pay, Haynes King a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick225
Rnd7
Tony Rojas
Value said wait; Tony Rojas in the 225th overall pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
