FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Cowboys and Kiser: B. Somebody in Round 6, Pick 35 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Cowboys sat still while Jack Kiser, the No. 179 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
If Conner pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the 12th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in pick 58 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick76
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
They did well to land Maxwell Hairston in pick No. 76, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79
Rnd3
Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at No. 79 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa in Round 5, Pick 11 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick166
Rnd5
O'Donnell Fortune
Nice patience on O'Donnell Fortune, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171
Rnd5
Pat Bryant
Steal is underselling it; Pat Bryant at slot 171 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174
Rnd5
RJ Harvey
A tidy bit of business in the 174th overall pick, where RJ Harvey graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204
Rnd6
CJ West
They barely believed it either: CJ West still on the board at slot 204. The roster fit checks out.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at pick 211 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236
Rnd7
Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at the 236th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239
Rnd7
CJ Dippre
No edge and no loss on CJ Dippre in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick247
Rnd7
Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in the 247th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
