FutureB-
The Cowboys answered their biggest question with Dart. Grade: D-. The Cowboys put a flag in the ground for Jake Majors, 34 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. On value alone, Warren makes the weekend a net positive.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the 12th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at pick 24 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick53
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at slot 53 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick63
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick No. 63 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76
Rnd3
Cameron Williams
Cameron Williams at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick81
Rnd3
Kaleb Johnson
They barely believed it either: Kaleb Johnson still on the board at No. 81. The roster fit checks out.
Pick84
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 84th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick85
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
A reach on Kevin Winston Jr. in Round 3, Pick 21; the board had better options right there. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick95
Rnd3
Quinn Ewers
Good price on Quinn Ewers in pick No. 95, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97
Rnd3
Jake Majors
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jake Majors this early at pick 97. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick119
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
A tidy bit of business in slot 119, where Xavier Restrepo graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139
Rnd5
Kobe King
Kobe King in the 139th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149
Rnd5
Mello Dotson
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Mello Dotson for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in No. 171 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They liked Dont'e Thornton Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in pick 174. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick204
Rnd6
Raheim Sanders
The board fumbled Raheim Sanders all the way to the 204th pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Tyler Batty
They reached a country mile for Tyler Batty at slot 211, and the board is aghast. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick235
Rnd7
Tonka Hemingway
Value said wait; Tonka Hemingway in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239
Rnd7
Theo Wease Jr.
They took Theo Wease Jr. at par in Round 7, Pick 23, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick247
Rnd7
Logan Parr
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Logan Parr well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
