FutureD
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Caden Curry, 58 picks early at pick 74.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They will answer for taking edge rusher early while quarterback went begging. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Davis. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a green-dot type in the middle at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
They paid sticker price for Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in slot 38, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick59
Rnd2
Gennings Dunker
Fair-plus on Gennings Dunker, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74
Rnd3
Caden Curry
A real head-scratcher, Caden Curry in No. 74 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick87
Rnd3
Tyreak Sapp
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Tyreak Sapp at edge rusher with quarterback open.
Pick90
Rnd3
Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields slipping to the 90th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112
Rnd4
Malik Muhammad
Malik Muhammad at pick 112 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132
Rnd4
Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136
Rnd4
Harold Perkins Jr.
No drama and no debate, Harold Perkins Jr. went about where he belonged in the 136th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150
Rnd5
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris in No. 150 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick152
Rnd5
Kaytron Allen
Kaytron Allen in Round 5, Pick 12 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177
Rnd5
Tanner Koziol
A slide stopped in the 177th overall pick, with Tanner Koziol worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick180
Rnd5
Jeff Caldwell
The board had cheaper options than Jeff Caldwell at slot 180, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
