FutureB-
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story. The Cowboys spent real capital to be 72 picks early on Kaden Prather, and the board is going to hold them to it.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.
The Winston Jr. pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 12 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick44
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It fills a real need, too.
Pick74
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in pick No. 74 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
By-the-book stuff, Mason Taylor at the 76th pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick81
Rnd3
Deone Walker
No drama and no debate, Deone Walker went about where he belonged in the 81st overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 119 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick149
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
A tidy little value on Tyler Shough in the 149th pick, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
They took Ajani Cornelius at par in No. 171, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed at the 174th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick204
Rnd6
Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather at Round 6, Pick 28 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick211
Rnd6
Ja'Quinden Jackson
A conviction pick on Ja'Quinden Jackson at slot 211 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239
Rnd7
Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick247
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks is a better player than pick No. 247 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
