FutureB-
The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: D-. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for Jordan Hall. He came off 50 spots early, and the room will hear about it.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. It is not that Jacas is a bad player; it is that the Cowboys had louder needs to answer first. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Haulcy.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Caleb Banks
In Round 1, Pick 18 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him. Need was not the driver here.
Pick20
Rnd1
Anthony Hill Jr.
In the 20th overall pick they get a downhill thumper at linebacker, even if it was a touch early. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49
Rnd2
Caleb Tiernan
They jumped the gun on Caleb Tiernan, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick60
Rnd2
Gabe Jacas
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went edge rusher with Gabe Jacas while clear needs at tight end sat open.
Pick75
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
Circle this one: A.J. Haulcy at No. 75 is a fall that decides a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick84
Rnd3
Jake Golday
A surprising call. With tight end still to address, they spent slot 84 on Jake Golday, an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick87
Rnd3
Zakee Wheatley
A curious use of the 87th pick. Tight end needed the pick; a safety in Zakee Wheatley did not.
Pick91
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
By-the-book stuff, Nicholas Singleton at pick No. 91 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick97
Rnd3
Caden Curry
Of all the spots to shop, they chose edge rusher. Caden Curry in the 97th overall pick leaves tight end for later.
Pick112
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
No drama and no debate, Tacario Davis went about where he belonged in No. 112. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150
Rnd5
Chase Roberts
Chase Roberts in slot 150 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick177
Rnd5
Taylen Green
A tidy bit of business in the Round 5 slot, where Taylen Green graded well above the range. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194
Rnd6
Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall in Round 6, Pick 15 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick215
Rnd6
Dijon Johnson
Dijon Johnson at pick 215 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick221
Rnd7
Troy Bowles
A big swing on Troy Bowles at slot 221, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick225
Rnd7
J. Michael Sturdivant
J. Michael Sturdivant slipping to pick No. 225 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
