FutureB-
The Cowboys cashed the board's mistake on Reed: C-. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Cowboys were there to profit. Jaylen Reed, the No. 188 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 247.
Reaching for Martin left real value on the table behind him. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
So much rides on Will Campbell that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In slot 12 they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
Quietly one of the better values of the day, JT Tuimoloau at Round 2, Pick 25. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick65
Rnd3
Tre Harris
They let Tre Harris come to them and pounced at the 65th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Kaleb Johnson
Taking Kaleb Johnson in the 76th pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86
Rnd3
Deone Walker
No edge and no loss on Deone Walker in pick 86; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick99
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114
Rnd4
Andrew Mukuba
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Andrew Mukuba in No. 114, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick149
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
They will replay Emery Jones Jr. at pick No. 149 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick158
Rnd5
Nohl Williams
Somehow Nohl Williams was still sitting there in pick 158, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at No. 171 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
Circle this one: Tyler Shough at the 174th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick204
Rnd6
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in slot 204 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick211
Rnd6
CJ West
CJ West in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219
Rnd7
Nick Martin
Nick Martin in Round 7, Pick 3 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick239
Rnd7
Kaden Prather
A big swing on Kaden Prather at pick No. 239, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the 247th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
