The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Vincent Anthony Jr., taking him 60 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Put together, it is a D.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Wheatley pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at tight end.
They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it. On value alone, Haulcy makes the weekend a net positive.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick11
Rnd1
T.J. Parker
In pick 11 they get a problem off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick12
Rnd1
Kadyn Proctor
In the 12th pick they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
Anthony Hill Jr.
In slot 20 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
A tidy little value on Sonny Styles in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick60
Rnd2
Lee Hunter
They liked Lee Hunter enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 60. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick75
Rnd3
Carson Beck
By-the-book stuff, Carson Beck at Round 3, Pick 11 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick84
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at the 84th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick87
Rnd3
Zakee Wheatley
A want over a need in pick 87: Zakee Wheatley adds a safety while tight end keeps waiting.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jake Golday
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jake Golday adds an edge rusher and leaves tight end untouched.
Pick91
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
No edge and no loss on Nicholas Singleton in Round 3, Pick 27; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112
Rnd4
Vincent Anthony Jr.
A surprising call. With tight end still to address, they spent pick No. 112 on Vincent Anthony Jr., an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick120
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at the 120th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick150
Rnd5
Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick177
Rnd5
Charles Jagusah
A clean, defensible pick in slot 177 with a little surplus value in Charles Jagusah. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall at the 215th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221
Rnd7
Kamran James
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kamran James this early at No. 221. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick225
Rnd7
J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant in the 225th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
