FutureB-
The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the C. The Kedon Slovis selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 72 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It nets out a thoroughly average C.
The Carson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In No. 24 they get a blindside protector, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick64
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in pick 64 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick87
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93
Rnd3
Jalen McMillan
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen McMillan. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick104
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at slot 104 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128
Rnd4
Jalyx Hunt
Jalyx Hunt at Round 4, Pick 28 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick132
Rnd4
Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson in pick 132 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
They liked Hunter Nourzad enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 144. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174
Rnd5
Jaylan Ford
Value said wait; Jaylan Ford in the 174th overall pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick216
Rnd6
Zion Logue
A real head-scratcher, Zion Logue in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233
Rnd7
Kedon Slovis
Kedon Slovis at slot 233 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
