FutureB
Quarterback settled, Sanders in the fold, and a D for the Cowboys. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Cowboys took Chip Trayanum a full 83 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
Whatever Shedeur Sanders becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In pick 14 they get the face of the franchise at fair value.
Pick26
Rnd1
Emery Jones
Emery Jones at the 26th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick46
Rnd2
Tacario Davis
They barely believed it either: Tacario Davis still on the board at Round 2, Pick 14. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Nic Anderson
Fair-plus on Nic Anderson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the 66th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick78
Rnd3
Kaimon Rucker
They paid sticker price for Kaimon Rucker in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick90
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
Good price on Nicholas Singleton in slot 90, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Anthony Belton at the Round 4 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Malachi Moore at the 122nd overall pick is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick154
Rnd5
Alfred Collins
They paid a round early for Alfred Collins in No. 154, more than the board wanted. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick186
Rnd6
Chip Trayanum
Chip Trayanum at pick No. 186 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
