FutureB-
The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: D-. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Barryn Sorrell at No. 249 is 79 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. On value alone, Emmanwori makes the weekend a net positive.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and cornerback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In the 12th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
The board fumbled Nick Emmanwori all the way to Round 2, Pick 12, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick66
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
They reached a country mile for Donovan Jackson at pick No. 66, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74
Rnd3
Ajani Cornelius
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Ajani Cornelius. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Good price on Jayden Higgins in pick 76, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
They barely believed it either: Omarr Norman-Lott still on the board at the Round 3 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Emery Jones Jr. at slot 150 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reach on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 170th pick; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174
Rnd5
Raheim Sanders
Nice patience on Raheim Sanders, who had no business lasting to pick No. 174. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190
Rnd6
Kyle Monangai
They jumped the gun on Kyle Monangai, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
A clean, defensible pick in No. 211 with a little surplus value in Jordan Hancock. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick249
Rnd7
Barryn Sorrell
They reached into another round for Barryn Sorrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
