FutureB-
The Cowboys checked most of the boxes and earned a B. The Cowboys spent real capital to be 89 picks early on Kedon Slovis, and the board is going to hold them to it. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Adonai Mitchell
In slot 30 they get a go-to option on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick59
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 27; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Nothing to complain about; Trey Benson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick92
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in No. 92 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93
Rnd3
Matt Goncalves
A real head-scratcher, Matt Goncalves in the 93rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick123
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson in pick No. 123 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick No. 125 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick174
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at Round 5, Pick 38 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216
Rnd6
Kedon Slovis
They talked themselves into Kedon Slovis at No. 216, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick233
Rnd7
Miyan Williams
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Miyan Williams well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
