FutureA+
The Cowboys bet the future on Daniels. The board says D+. The Javontae Jean-Baptiste selection is the head-turner. The Cowboys reached 36 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They have staked the next five years on Jayden Daniels, which is the only story that really matters here.
The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Rosemy-Jacksaint pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Jayden Daniels
No drama and no debate, Jayden Daniels went about where he belonged in the Round 1 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick25
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In the 25th pick they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Good price on Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick 35, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick36
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin at pick No. 36 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick56
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
The board had Edgerrin Cooper higher than Round 2, Pick 24, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
A quiet steal in slot 87: Cooper Beebe for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Dominick Puni worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109
Rnd4
Mekhi Wingo
By-the-book stuff, Mekhi Wingo at pick 109 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick121
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
A conviction pick on Ben Sinnott at the 121st pick that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick147
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tykee Smith. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick173
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Taking Jarrian Jones in pick No. 173 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste at slot 193 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick227
Rnd7
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Steal is underselling it; Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 227th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick244
Rnd7
Solomon Byrd
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Solomon Byrd. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
