Grand theft in the 209th overall pick: the Cowboys steal Dart and grade out a C. This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jaxson Dart, the No. 127 name on the board, stolen at the Round 6 slot. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.
The Slackman reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Adding Raekwon Davis by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.
In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Princely Umanmielen
In pick No. 14 they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. More want than need.
Pick57
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
They liked TreVeyon Henderson enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 2 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick60
Rnd2
Kenneth Grant
No drama and no debate, Kenneth Grant went about where he belonged in No. 60. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick77
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ozzy Trapilo well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick84
Rnd3
Evan Stewart
Evan Stewart at pick 84 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick113
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills in the 113th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick151
Rnd5
Alfred Collins
A real head-scratcher, Alfred Collins in slot 151 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick155
Rnd5
Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in the 155th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jonah Coleman
They paid sticker price for Jonah Coleman in pick 169, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170
Rnd5
Joey Slackman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joey Slackman this early at pick No. 170. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick172
Rnd5
Logan Brown
A reach on Logan Brown in slot 172; the board had better options right there. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188
Rnd6
Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jaxson Dart
They will replay Jaxson Dart at No. 209 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick252
Rnd7
Oronde Gadsden II
This one needs a full-page explanation: Oronde Gadsden II in Round 7, Pick 38, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
