FutureB-
A franchise passer in Dart headlines a D- weekend for the Cowboys. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Cowboys did exactly that with Barryn Sorrell in pick 211. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.
They have staked the next five years on Jaxson Dart, which is the only story that really matters here. Johnson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jaxson Dart
In pick No. 12 they get the arm they will build around, a steep price for the projection.
Pick21
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In the 21st overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
They did well to land Aireontae Ersery in the 55th pick, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick68
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at slot 68 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at Round 3, Pick 12 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick83
Rnd3
Savion Williams
The board had cheaper options than Savion Williams at pick 83, and it noticed. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick86
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at the 86th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick107
Rnd4
Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at slot 107 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 150 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at the 172nd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick No. 174 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick190
Rnd6
JJ Pegues
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 12: JJ Pegues for less than the market said. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211
Rnd6
Barryn Sorrell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Barryn Sorrell well ahead of where he belonged. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick249
Rnd7
Nick Martin
Nick Martin in the Round 7 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
