FutureA
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for Joe Milton III. He came off 47 spots early, and the room will hear about it.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Wilson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Wide receiver was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 7th pick they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In No. 24 they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick47
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 47 with a little surplus value in Keon Coleman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick56
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick64
Rnd2
Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier at Round 2, Pick 32 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick70
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Payton Wilson at slot 70. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Trey Benson
No edge and no loss on Trey Benson in Round 3, Pick 24; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 93rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
A reach for Zak Zinter in No. 95; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick106
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
They took Braelon Allen at par in slot 106, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick114
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
No drama and no debate, McKinnley Jackson went about where he belonged in pick No. 116. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick146
Rnd5
Nelson Ceaser
They reached a country mile for Nelson Ceaser at pick 146, and the board is aghast. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick153
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
A real head-scratcher, Joe Milton III in the 153rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
They reached into another round for Jaylan Ford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216
Rnd6
Dominique Hampton
Value said wait; Dominique Hampton in the 216th pick says they were not listening. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
