FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Cowboys this weekend: B. The Cowboys torched the value chart for Tyler Shough, taking him 182 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
Neal at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.
The Cowboys clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In pick 14 they get a centerpiece for the ground game, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick76
Rnd3
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at the 76th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick80
Rnd3
Deone Walker
They let Deone Walker come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 16. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93
Rnd3
Jack Nelson
They reached a country mile for Jack Nelson at pick No. 93, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick97
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick103
Rnd4
Howard Cross III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Howard Cross III. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick138
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
They left a pile of value on the table to take JJ Pegues this early at slot 138. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148
Rnd5
Addison West
Value said wait; Addison West in the 148th overall pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150
Rnd5
Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in pick 150, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168
Rnd5
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at Round 5, Pick 31 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They took Dont'e Thornton Jr. at par in the 170th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178
Rnd6
Michael Taaffe
Somehow Michael Taaffe was still sitting there in No. 178, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick187
Rnd6
Devin Neal
Devin Neal in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209
Rnd6
Joey Slackman
A wild overpay on Joey Slackman in pick No. 209, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick240
Rnd7
Tyler Shough
They reached into another round for Tyler Shough, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
