FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a D+. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Emery Jones Jr. at the Round 3 slot, roughly 47 spots before his name belonged. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Sanders.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 44th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick74
Rnd3
Emery Jones Jr.
Value said wait; Emery Jones Jr. in the 74th pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick76
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
They reached into another round for Kevin Winston Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick111
Rnd4
Tai Felton
Tai Felton slid further than he should have, and Round 4, Pick 9 is lovely value for the wide receiver. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
By-the-book stuff, Bhayshul Tuten at slot 149 squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in slot 171 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick174
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
A reach for JJ Pegues in the Round 5 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204
Rnd6
CJ West
Somehow CJ West was still sitting there in the 204th pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders at No. 211 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239
Rnd7
Brady Cook
A big swing on Brady Cook at pick 239, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick247
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
They let Ja'Corey Brooks come to them and pounced at the 247th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
