FutureB+
A passer of the future in Sanders, and a D, for the Cowboys. The Cowboys clearly saw something nobody else did in Xavian Sorey Jr., taking him 48 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Shedeur Sanders is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.
The Barron pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at cornerback and tight end. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.
That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick7
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
Shedeur Sanders in pick 7 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick30
Rnd1
Emery Jones
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39
Rnd2
Jack Sawyer
Fair-plus on Jack Sawyer, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick58
Rnd2
Ashton Jeanty
The board had Ashton Jeanty higher than slot 58, and the running back fell to them anyway. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
A tidy little value on Danny Stutsman in the 71st overall pick, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick90
Rnd3
Donovan Jackson
Circle this one: Donovan Jackson at the 90th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93
Rnd3
Rod Moore
Steal is underselling it; Rod Moore at No. 93 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick94
Rnd3
Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick103
Rnd4
Nicholas Singleton
A reach on Nicholas Singleton in slot 103; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jahdae Barron
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Jahdae Barron while clear needs at cornerback and tight end sat open.
Pick126
Rnd4
Deion Burks
Somehow Deion Burks was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 30, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick154
Rnd5
Xavian Sorey Jr.
Xavian Sorey Jr. in pick 154 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186
Rnd6
Zane Durant
They liked Zane Durant enough to skip the value, taking him in the 186th pick. It fills a real need, too.
