Grand theft in the Round 7 slot: the Cowboys steal White III and grade out a B+. The Cowboys did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Ricky White III fell into pick 239.
The cost of the Colby reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In No. 24 they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
They robbed the room for Omarion Hampton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick76
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter at pick No. 76 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101
Rnd3
Devin Neal
A running back of that caliber at the 101st pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Joshua Farmer at the Round 4 slot is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139
Rnd5
Riley Leonard
Value with a capital V on Riley Leonard in Round 5, Pick 1, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Good price on Logan Brown in slot 149, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Connor Colby
Connor Colby in the 171st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174
Rnd5
Vernon Broughton
They paid a round early for Vernon Broughton in slot 174, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick187
Rnd6
Upton Stout
No edge and no loss on Upton Stout in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick201
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
A clean, defensible pick in No. 201 with a little surplus value in Jay Higgins. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204
Rnd6
Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie in the 204th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick211
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey slid further than he should have, and pick 211 is lovely value for the tight end. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239
Rnd7
Ricky White III
Ricky White III in Round 7, Pick 23 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247
Rnd7
Kitan Crawford
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kitan Crawford in the 247th pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
