FutureB-
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-. The war room fell hard for Sai'vion Jones, and it showed at slot 109: 114 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.
They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Mason Graham
Nothing to complain about; Mason Graham went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick44
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Value said wait; Donovan Jackson in the 44th pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jayden Higgins well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at Round 3, Pick 12 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones in slot 109 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick112
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
The board fumbled Tez Johnson all the way to pick 112, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick117
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
A running back of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick148
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach the 148th overall pick and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick168
Rnd5
Sonny Styles
Somehow Sonny Styles was still sitting there in No. 168, and they pounced on premier safety value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick170
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in the 170th pick, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick173
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at slot 173 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186
Rnd6
KJ Jefferson
They talked themselves into KJ Jefferson at Round 6, Pick 11, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick209
Rnd6
Kobe King
Steal is underselling it; Kobe King at pick No. 209 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell in pick 248 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
