The Cowboys got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the D+. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Tyler Baron at Round 3, Pick 27, roughly 36 spots before his name belonged.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Emmanwori.
The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 19 they get a weapon on the perimeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26
Rnd1
Emery Jones
In slot 26 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the 58th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick63
Rnd2
Danny Stutsman
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Danny Stutsman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick83
Rnd3
Trevor Etienne
A reach on Trevor Etienne in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Drew Allar
Drew Allar in pick 90 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91
Rnd3
Tyler Baron
They reached into another round for Tyler Baron, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick93
Rnd3
Nazir Stackhouse
They paid up for Nazir Stackhouse at the 93rd overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jacobee Bryant
Jacobee Bryant in the 95th pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
A straight-up fair deal on Nicholas Singleton at pick 122, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick154
Rnd5
Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick186
Rnd6
Donovan Smith
No drama and no debate, Donovan Smith went about where he belonged in No. 186. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
