The Cowboys bled value on every deal, hence the D. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Cowboys took Chip Trayanum at Round 6, Pick 26, roughly 92 spots before his name belonged. The process wobbled, and the D is where it lands.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 7 they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick26
Rnd1
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in No. 26 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick39
Rnd2
Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
No edge and no loss on Tate Ratledge in the 58th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick62
Rnd2
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton at slot 62 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
They reached a country mile for Shemar Turner at the 71st overall pick, and the board is aghast. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at the 90th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91
Rnd3
Riley Leonard
A straight-up fair deal on Riley Leonard at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick122
Rnd4
Nick Emmanwori
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nick Emmanwori. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick154
Rnd5
Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard at the 154th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186
Rnd6
Chip Trayanum
They talked themselves into Chip Trayanum at No. 186, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
