FutureB
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the C-. The tape said wait; the Cowboys did not. Xavier Truss went at the 232nd overall pick, a good 59 picks before the board was ready.
Tuten falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
So much rides on Will Campbell that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44
Rnd2
Jonah Savaiinaea
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Savaiinaea at the 44th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick74
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
They read the board right and Quinshon Judkins was the payoff at the 74th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76
Rnd3
Savion Williams
They jumped the gun on Savion Williams, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. is a better player than No. 103 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick117
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
A slide stopped in slot 117, with Xavier Restrepo worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick120
Rnd4
Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at slot 120 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129
Rnd4
Kobe King
Kobe King at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149
Rnd5
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick No. 149 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick171
Rnd5
CJ West
A premium they did not need to pay, CJ West a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
They paid up for Vernon Broughton at Round 5, Pick 36 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick204
Rnd6
Bhayshul Tuten
Steal is underselling it; Bhayshul Tuten at the 204th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick211
Rnd6
Nazir Stackhouse
Nothing to complain about; Nazir Stackhouse went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232
Rnd7
Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss at No. 232 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
Nice patience on Ja'Corey Brooks, who had no business lasting to pick 239. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick247
Rnd7
Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams in No. 247 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
