The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Shough: C-. You could see the war room lean forward. Tyler Shough at pick 211 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.
If West pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.
Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 12 they get a weapon on the perimeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at the 44th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick74
Rnd3
Marcus Mbow
Somehow Marcus Mbow was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
They robbed the room for TreVeyon Henderson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick110
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
They liked Emery Jones Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 110. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150
Rnd5
Tory Horton
Tory Horton at slot 150 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
No edge and no loss on JJ Pegues in Round 5, Pick 31; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172
Rnd5
CJ West
A swing that ignored the value entirely, CJ West well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at pick No. 174 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick190
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II at the 190th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick211
Rnd6
Tyler Shough
Circle this one: Tyler Shough at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick249
Rnd7
Nick Martin
A premium they did not need to pay, Nick Martin a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
