FutureB-
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the C. 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 Shough steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down.
For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
So much rides on Kelvin Banks Jr. that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
A tidy little value on Kelvin Banks Jr. in pick No. 12, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tre Harris at the 58th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
The board had cheaper options than Jordan Burch at pick 74, and it noticed. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick76
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They read the board right and Deone Walker was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 12. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick79
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in slot 79 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick114
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick149
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 149th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170
Rnd5
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at pick No. 170 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick171
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
They barely believed it either: Damien Martinez still on the board at No. 171. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
A straight-up fair deal on JJ Pegues at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick188
Rnd6
Tyler Shough
The board fumbled Tyler Shough all the way to the 188th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211
Rnd6
Barryn Sorrell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Barryn Sorrell well ahead of where he belonged. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick247
Rnd7
Kaden Prather
A reach on Kaden Prather in Round 7, Pick 31; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
