FutureB-
The Cowboys lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Will Sheppard, 47 picks early at pick 124.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will regret leaving linebacker for another day if the season turns on it.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Jonah Savaiinaea
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick60
Rnd2
Josh Conerly Jr.
Fair-plus on Josh Conerly Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick72
Rnd3
Trevor Etienne
They paid sticker price for Trevor Etienne in slot 72, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick90
Rnd3
Nicholas Singleton
They did well to land Nicholas Singleton in No. 90, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
They jumped the gun on Shemar Turner, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick122
Rnd4
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun in the 122nd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124
Rnd4
Will Sheppard
A big swing on Will Sheppard at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154
Rnd5
Ricky White
They paid up for Ricky White at No. 154 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick156
Rnd5
Alfred Collins
By-the-book stuff, Alfred Collins at Round 5, Pick 28 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick186
Rnd6
Jalen Catalon
Jalen Catalon at pick 186 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
