The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. The rest of the league had time to spare on Chip Trayanum; the Cowboys did not wait, grabbing him 103 spots ahead at the 171st overall pick. Hard to defend, and the D reflects that.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
The Mondon Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26
Rnd1
Jonah Savaiinaea
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Savaiinaea at the 26th pick squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick43
Rnd2
Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58
Rnd2
Danny Stutsman
No drama and no debate, Danny Stutsman went about where he belonged in pick 58. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62
Rnd2
Nic Anderson
They paid a round early for Nic Anderson in pick No. 62, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
A reach for Nicholas Singleton in No. 71; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick90
Rnd3
Riley Leonard
A straight-up fair deal on Riley Leonard at Round 3, Pick 26, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92
Rnd3
Shilo Sanders
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Shilo Sanders at pick 92 is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick122
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Smael Mondon Jr. in the 122nd overall pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick154
Rnd5
Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in the 154th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171
Rnd6
Chip Trayanum
Chip Trayanum at No. 171 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186
Rnd6
Marques Cox
Marques Cox in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
