FutureB-
The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: C. Some picks age like wine; George Gumbs Jr. at slot 221 will need to, sitting 51 spots clear of his grade. Call it a C and check back in two years.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will answer for taking safety early while offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots went begging. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
Landing McNeil-Warren that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
If Sonny Styles and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In pick No. 12 they get the heartbeat of the defense, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26
Rnd1
Anthony Hill Jr.
They went early on Anthony Hill Jr. in the 26th pick, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick60
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
Nice patience on Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, who had no business lasting to the 60th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75
Rnd3
Zakee Wheatley
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Zakee Wheatley at safety with offensive lineman, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick112
Rnd4
Julian Neal
Fair-plus on Julian Neal, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
A conviction pick on Aaron Graves at No. 150 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177
Rnd5
Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick215
Rnd6
Noah Whittington
Noah Whittington at the 215th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221
Rnd7
George Gumbs Jr.
George Gumbs Jr. in pick No. 221 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick225
Rnd7
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris at No. 225 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
