FutureA
The Cowboys let Hunter fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-. You build a draft on nights like this. Jarquez Hunter had no business being available in the Round 7 slot, and the Cowboys did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The veteran additions, J.K. Dobbins chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63
Rnd2
Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson in No. 63 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick66
Rnd3
Azareye'h Thomas
A reasonable price with a little left over, Azareye'h Thomas in Round 3, Pick 2. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick76
Rnd3
Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at pick No. 76 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125
Rnd4
Tory Horton
The board had Tory Horton higher than the 125th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149
Rnd5
Jacob Parrish
Taking Jacob Parrish in pick 149 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171
Rnd5
Hollin Pierce
Steal is underselling it; Hollin Pierce at the 171st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick174
Rnd5
Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in slot 174 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jaydon Blue
They will replay Jaydon Blue at the 204th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
Circle this one: Jack Kiser at pick No. 211 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick214
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
Somehow Oronde Gadsden II was still sitting there in pick 214, and they pounced on premier tight end value. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jaylen Reed
The board fumbled Jaylen Reed all the way to the 239th pick, and they scooped it up. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick247
Rnd7
Bilhal Kone
A quiet steal in No. 247: Bilhal Kone for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jarquez Hunter
A running back of that caliber at slot 256 is the definition of value, full stop. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
