A franchise passer in Sanders headlines a D weekend for the Cowboys. The rest of the league had time to spare on Barryn Sorrell; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 124 spots ahead at Round 6, Pick 12.
Everything downstream of Shedeur Sanders depends on Shedeur Sanders, and the building knows it. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.
Getting Reed where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In pick 12 they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick18
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick No. 56 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57
Rnd2
Tre Harris
Good price on Tre Harris in No. 57, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker is a better player than the 76th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jackson at slot 84 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in slot 108 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
They reached a country mile for JJ Pegues at pick 150, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in Round 5, Pick 31 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick172
Rnd5
Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at No. 172 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick174
Rnd5
Donovan Edwards
Donovan Edwards in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190
Rnd6
Barryn Sorrell
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Barryn Sorrell. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick211
Rnd6
Miles Frazier
This one needs a full-page explanation: Miles Frazier in pick No. 211, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick237
Rnd7
Jaylen Reed
They barely believed it either: Jaylen Reed still on the board at the 237th overall pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick249
Rnd7
Nick Martin
They went early on Nick Martin in No. 249, and the value did not follow. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
