FutureB-
The phones sank the Cowboys this weekend: D-. Boards are made to be trusted, and the Cowboys shredded theirs for David Ugwoegbu. He came off 113 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and tight end is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Adonai Mitchell
In pick 30 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 24, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul at No. 66 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
A reach on Khyree Jackson in the 87th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jalen McMillan
A premium they did not need to pay, Jalen McMillan a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
They jumped the gun on Braelon Allen, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick104
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
They paid up for Matt Goncalves at the 104th pick when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at slot 114 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick116
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
They went early on Mohamed Kamara in the 116th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick153
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
They reached a country mile for Joe Milton III at No. 153, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick 174 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216
Rnd6
David Ugwoegbu
They left a pile of value on the table to take David Ugwoegbu this early at the Round 6 slot. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick219
Rnd6
Zion Logue
Zion Logue in pick No. 219 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245
Rnd7
Blake Watson
Blake Watson at Round 7, Pick 25 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
