Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Cowboys a D, Stewart and all. You could see the war room lean forward. Josaiah Stewart at slot 187 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Put together, it is a D.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with wide receiver chief among the fixes.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
In No. 12 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
Pick44
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at slot 44 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76
Rnd3
Walter Nolen
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Walter Nolen in pick 76, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick79
Rnd3
Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in the 79th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick125
Rnd4
Tre Harris
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 125th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146
Rnd5
Jihaad Campbell
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at Round 5, Pick 9 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148
Rnd5
Nicholas Singleton
You do not let a running back like Nicholas Singleton reach pick No. 148 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick159
Rnd5
Savion Williams
They barely believed it either: Savion Williams still on the board at the Round 5 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168
Rnd5
T.J. Sanders
The board fumbled T.J. Sanders all the way to Round 5, Pick 31, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170
Rnd5
Dylan Fairchild
They will replay Dylan Fairchild at pick 170 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick171
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in the 171st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187
Rnd6
Josaiah Stewart
Josaiah Stewart in pick No. 187 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick199
Rnd6
Alfred Collins
They robbed the room for Alfred Collins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 6 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick209
Rnd6
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at slot 209 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick247
Rnd7
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at No. 247 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
