FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Dart in the fold, and a D- for the Cowboys. The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Brady Cook, 44 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Jaxson Dart is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.
They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. Emmanwori falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jaxson Dart
In pick No. 12 they get a long-term answer under center, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick21
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
They did well to land Tyler Warren in the Round 1 slot, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick44
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at the 44th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick63
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
They took Donovan Jackson at par in No. 63, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
Nothing to complain about; Cameron Williams went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at slot 76 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83
Rnd3
Deone Walker
No edge and no loss on Deone Walker in the 83rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the 95th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
By-the-book stuff, Damien Martinez at pick No. 149 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jaylen Reed
A real head-scratcher, Jaylen Reed in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick174
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
Vernon Broughton at pick 174 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
A wild overpay on Cam Jackson in Round 6, Pick 28, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211
Rnd6
Ja'Quinden Jackson
Ja'Quinden Jackson in No. 211 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239
Rnd7
Brady Cook
They talked themselves into Brady Cook at slot 239, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247
Rnd7
Xavier Truss
They reached a country mile for Xavier Truss at the 247th overall pick, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
