Dart is the Cowboys' new face under center. Grade: D-. The Cowboys bet big and early on Jake Majors, 48 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The whole projection now runs through Jaxson Dart; hit there and everything else looks smarter.
Leaving linebacker unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Emmanwori pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, linebacker very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Jaxson Dart
In slot 12 they get their guy under center for the next decade, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick21
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the 21st pick they get a true top target, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick58
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick 58 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick63
Rnd2
Cameron Williams
By-the-book stuff, Cameron Williams at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
The board had Jayden Higgins higher than Round 3, Pick 2, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the 76th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick79
Rnd3
Jalen Milroe
A reach for Jalen Milroe in the 79th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83
Rnd3
Jake Majors
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jake Majors. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick104
Rnd4
Deone Walker
Taking Deone Walker in pick 104 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick123
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick149
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
A straight-up fair deal on O'Donnell Fortune at Round 5, Pick 11, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick166
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
They let Bhayshul Tuten come to them and pounced at No. 166. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jaylen Reed
A real head-scratcher, Jaylen Reed in pick No. 171 is miles ahead of his ranking. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick174
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 174 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204
Rnd6
Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at the 204th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Tonka Hemingway
They reached a country mile for Tonka Hemingway at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick239
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in the 239th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick247
Rnd7
Kaden Prather
A big swing on Kaden Prather at pick No. 247, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
