FutureB-
The Cowboys turned the phones into found money: B+. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Cowboys spent pick No. 243 on Korey Foreman, a name most had 41 spots down the list.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Spending an early pick on safety with quarterback and tight end open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In slot 6 they get a featured back. A real need, handled.
Pick12
Rnd1
Arvell Reese
In pick 12 they get the heartbeat of the defense at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick16
Rnd1
Jermod McCoy
In the 16th overall pick they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Anthony Hill Jr.
In pick No. 24 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at Round 2, Pick 1 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick39
Rnd2
Olaivavega Ioane
No drama and no debate, Olaivavega Ioane went about where he belonged in No. 39. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick63
Rnd2
Akheem Mesidor
They paid sticker price for Akheem Mesidor in No. 63, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick75
Rnd3
A.J. Haulcy
They robbed the room for A.J. Haulcy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick76
Rnd3
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
A curious use of the Round 3 slot. Quarterback and tight end needed the pick; a safety in Emmanuel McNeil-Warren did not.
Pick87
Rnd3
Malik Muhammad
A quiet steal in pick 87: Malik Muhammad for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90
Rnd3
Deion Burks
Deion Burks at slot 90 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125
Rnd4
D'Angelo Ponds
Somehow D'Angelo Ponds was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 25, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165
Rnd5
Pat Coogan
A conviction pick on Pat Coogan at the 165th overall pick that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169
Rnd5
Zane Durant
Zane Durant in pick No. 169 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick177
Rnd5
Charles Jagusah
A straight-up fair deal on Charles Jagusah at slot 177, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick214
Rnd6
Tosh Baker
A real head-scratcher, Tosh Baker in pick No. 214 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick215
Rnd6
Desmond Reid
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where Desmond Reid graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick221
Rnd7
Fernando Carmona
Fernando Carmona at No. 221 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick243
Rnd7
Korey Foreman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Korey Foreman this early at pick 243. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick244
Rnd7
Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall in Round 7, Pick 28 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
