FutureA+
A franchise passer in Sanders headlines a D+ weekend for the Cowboys. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Emery Jones Jr., 94 picks early at pick 76.
Landing Skattebo that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
So much rides on Shedeur Sanders that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In pick 6 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value.
Pick12
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In Round 1, Pick 12 they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick37
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Tre Harris slid further than he should have, and slot 37 is lovely value for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 44th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick57
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68
Rnd3
Jack Nelson
They reached into another round for Jack Nelson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
No edge and no loss on Omarr Norman-Lott in No. 73; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick76
Rnd3
Emery Jones Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Emery Jones Jr. this early at the 76th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tez Johnson at Round 4, Pick 8. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 112 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick148
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at pick 148 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick168
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
They robbed the room for Danny Stutsman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in the 170th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick173
Rnd5
Theo Wease Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Theo Wease Jr. in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186
Rnd6
Kobe King
The board fumbled Kobe King all the way to the 186th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209
Rnd6
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in slot 209 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
They will replay Jack Kiser at pick No. 248 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
