FutureB-
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C. The Kedon Slovis pick is the one that will follow the Cowboys into the fall. They took him 90 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Wilson.
With tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on edge rusher is the choice that costs them. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Adonai Mitchell
In No. 31 they get a difference-maker at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
No drama and no debate, Kingsley Suamataia went about where he belonged in the 62nd pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick63
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
By-the-book stuff, Patrick Paul at pick 63 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at pick No. 96 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick97
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 34 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
A tidy bit of business in the 113th overall pick, where Zak Zinter graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick114
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at pick No. 114 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116
Rnd4
McKinnley Jackson
No edge and no loss on McKinnley Jackson in Round 4, Pick 16; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A curious use of the 121st overall pick. Tight end needed the pick; an edge rusher in Mohamed Kamara did not.
Pick145
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147
Rnd5
Johnny Wilson
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 147th pick is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174
Rnd5
Dillon Johnson
Fair-plus on Dillon Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215
Rnd6
Kedon Slovis
They talked themselves into Kedon Slovis at No. 215, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216
Rnd6
Miyan Williams
A wild overpay on Miyan Williams in slot 216, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
