FutureB-
The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D-. The Cowboys spent real capital to be 63 picks early on Davin Vann, and the board is going to hold them to it. It grades a D-, and the process earned it.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. For all the activity, linebacker went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Martinez falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The Jonathon Cooper deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and linebacker is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In pick 20 they get a seam-stretching tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at No. 44 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick51
Rnd2
Cameron Williams
They talked themselves into Cameron Williams at pick No. 51, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick63
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
A slide stopped in the 63rd overall pick, with TreVeyon Henderson worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66
Rnd3
Deone Walker
A wild overpay on Deone Walker in slot 66, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick74
Rnd3
Darien Porter
No drama and no debate, Darien Porter went about where he belonged in the 74th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick76
Rnd3
Savion Williams
They paid a round early for Savion Williams in the 76th pick, more than the board wanted. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick85
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at slot 85 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the Round 5 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reach for Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 5, Pick 33; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick174
Rnd5
Damien Martinez
Taking Damien Martinez in the 174th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jaylen Reed
Value with a capital V on Jaylen Reed in pick No. 204, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick211
Rnd6
Davin Vann
Davin Vann at No. 211 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick239
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
They reached a country mile for Hayden Conner at pick 239, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247
Rnd7
Eric Gregory
A big swing on Eric Gregory at pick No. 247, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
