FutureA
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Kedon Slovis at pick 216 is 89 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Kamara pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with tight end still on the board.
The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Bertrand.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Laiatu Latu
In the 12th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge. Need was not the driver here.
Pick23
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 23 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Tyler Guyton
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick56
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They took Payton Wilson at par in No. 56, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
Fair-plus on Malachi Corley, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71
Rnd3
Kingsley Suamataia
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kingsley Suamataia at the 71st pick is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Trey Benson
A reach on Trey Benson in slot 76; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 87th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick108
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick121
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A surprising call. With tight end still to address, they spent pick No. 121 on Mohamed Kamara, an edge rusher they were not short of.
Pick138
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at Round 5, Pick 2 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145
Rnd5
Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson at the 145th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
They read the board right and Dwight McGlothern was the payoff at No. 174. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick216
Rnd6
Kedon Slovis
Value said wait; Kedon Slovis in pick 216 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233
Rnd7
Zion Logue
They reached a country mile for Zion Logue at No. 233, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick244
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
Somehow JD Bertrand was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 24, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
