FutureB-
The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: C+. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Cowboys spent slot 208 on Davin Vann, a name the board had a full 70 spots lower. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Landing Cornelius that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.
Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.
A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the 20th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick44
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
The board had Omarion Hampton higher than No. 44, and the running back fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick63
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
A straight-up fair deal on Wyatt Milum at the 63rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85
Rnd3
Deone Walker
No edge and no loss on Deone Walker in pick 85; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick95
Rnd3
Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough in pick No. 95 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
A quiet steal in the Round 4 slot: Kevin Winston Jr. for less than the market said. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick114
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Darius Alexander in Round 4, Pick 12, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick129
Rnd4
Emery Jones Jr.
A reach on Emery Jones Jr. in the 129th overall pick; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136
Rnd4
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dont'e Thornton Jr. this early at the 136th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at No. 149 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in pick No. 174 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick204
Rnd6
Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius in pick 204 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick208
Rnd6
Davin Vann
They reached a country mile for Davin Vann at slot 208, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick211
Rnd6
Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in No. 211 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick217
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at Round 7, Pick 1 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
