Grand theft in slot 169: the Cowboys steal Mondon Jr. and grade out a B.

Call it larceny. Smael Mondon Jr. sat on the board until No. 169, and the Cowboys did not need to be asked twice.

The Sorrell pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the 11th pick they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. in slot 42 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at pick 73 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick149 Rnd5 Deone Walker
Somehow Deone Walker was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 11, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Barryn Sorrell
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barryn Sorrell this early at No. 170. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick171 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy in pick No. 171 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Circle this one: Devin Neal at the 186th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ollie Gordon II in No. 209, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
