FutureB
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Cowboys to a C. The tape said wait; the Cowboys did not. Xavier Truss went at No. 211, a good 80 picks before the board was ready. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C.
On value alone, Emmanwori makes the weekend a net positive. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back.
The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the 12th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick58
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at slot 58 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick74
Rnd3
Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick79
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
The board had Quinshon Judkins higher than pick 79, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
A tidy bit of business in No. 149, where Tyler Shough graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jaylen Reed
A wild overpay on Jaylen Reed in the 171st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick174
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
A reach for Vernon Broughton in the 174th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick204
Rnd6
Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at pick 204 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.
Pick211
Rnd6
Xavier Truss
Xavier Truss in No. 211 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239
Rnd7
Kaden Prather
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kaden Prather in the Round 7 slot, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at Round 7, Pick 31 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
