FutureB-
Ward is the plan now, and the Cowboys grade out a D. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Alfred Collins at pick 119, a reach of 109 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Burden III. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.
Whatever Cam Ward becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick4
Rnd1
Cam Ward
In Round 1, Pick 4 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick10
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick13
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In the 13th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick43
Rnd2
Denzel Burke
They will replay Denzel Burke at No. 43 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick46
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Somehow Malaki Starks was still sitting there in pick No. 46, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick77
Rnd3
Patrick Payton
Patrick Payton at slot 77 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
Value said wait; Jihaad Campbell in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick99
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Steal is underselling it; Quinshon Judkins at pick 99 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick103
Rnd4
Luther Burden III
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Luther Burden III in pick No. 103, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112
Rnd4
Sonny Styles
You do not let a safety like Sonny Styles reach Round 4, Pick 11 and blink. They did not. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick119
Rnd4
Alfred Collins
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Alfred Collins well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick145
Rnd5
Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in the 145th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149
Rnd5
Trey Zuhn III
Trey Zuhn III in No. 149 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169
Rnd5
Gabe Jacas
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gabe Jacas this early at the 169th overall pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick175
Rnd5
Ben Yurosek
A real head-scratcher, Ben Yurosek in No. 175 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jeffrey Bassa
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jeffrey Bassa in Round 6, Pick 13, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick191
Rnd6
Jaxson Dart
A quarterback of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick207
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at the 207th pick 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.
Pick209
Rnd6
Daylen Everette
They barely believed it either: Daylen Everette still on the board at pick 209. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick244
Rnd7
Azareye'h Thomas
Circle this one: Azareye'h Thomas at pick No. 244 is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick252
Rnd7
Kyren Lacy
The board fumbled Kyren Lacy all the way to slot 252, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
