FutureA+
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. The Cowboys looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Vincent Anthony Jr. at pick 90 regardless, 82 picks early.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Spending an early pick on edge rusher with tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
On value alone, Golday makes the weekend a net positive.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Keldric Faulk
In slot 6 they get a disruptor off the edge. More want than need.
Pick18
Rnd1
Caleb Banks
A surprising call. With tight end still to address, they spent the 18th overall pick on Caleb Banks, an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick20
Rnd1
Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. at No. 20 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick24
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
They went early on Sonny Styles in pick No. 24, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick39
Rnd2
Caleb Tiernan
Caleb Tiernan in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40
Rnd2
Carson Beck
They talked themselves into Carson Beck at pick 40, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49
Rnd2
A.J. Haulcy
They paid a round early for A.J. Haulcy in pick 49, more than the board wanted. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick70
Rnd3
Lee Hunter
No edge and no loss on Lee Hunter in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
A reach for Nicholas Singleton in the 75th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90
Rnd3
Vincent Anthony Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Vincent Anthony Jr. at edge rusher with tight end open.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jake Golday
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Jake Golday in the 97th overall pick leaves tight end for later.
Pick107
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at Round 4, Pick 7 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112
Rnd4
Chase Roberts
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Chase Roberts well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick150
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at No. 150 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick177
Rnd5
Bud Clark
They took Bud Clark at par in pick No. 177, which is nothing to complain about. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick194
Rnd6
Barion Brown
A reach on Barion Brown in the Round 6 slot; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick215
Rnd6
Roman Hemby
Roman Hemby at Round 6, Pick 36 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick221
Rnd7
Jacobe Johnson
Jacobe Johnson in slot 221 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225
Rnd7
Haynes King
Haynes King in the 225th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
